This one pushed me over the edge.

I&#8217;m still more curious than actually determined that I&#8217;ll enjoy this book.  The idea of a family downsizing from a 6000 square foot house to a 3000 square foot house to give the rest to charity is great&#8211;but how were they so selfish as to amass all that in the first place?  I fear the book will be a little too self-congratulatory for my tastes.  But who knows?<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/lisanotes.blogspot.com\/2010\/02\/recalling-hope-of-glorybook-review.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>Recalling the Hope of Glory<\/i> by Allen P. Ross<\/a><br \/>\nThis book sounds amazing&#8211;an exposition of all the passages on worship throughout the Bible.  I&#8217;d love to read this one, but I&#8217;m sure the library doesn&#8217;t have it.

God designed the church to be something special&#8211;something that would collectively spread His fame throughout the world.  I am saddened and distressed by the current vogue for leaving behind &#8220;organized religion&#8221;&#8211;and with it the church.  This book addresses that issue.  I&#8217;ve ILL&#8217;ed it and look forward to reading what DeYoung and Kluck have to say about the church.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i>News to take note of:<\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/sex-relationships\/news\/20100224\/single-men-have-higher-risk-of-stroke\" target=\"_blank\">Science says<\/a> it is not good for man to be alone.
