While I Am Here

I just posted a review of a book, so while I am at my blog, I might as well write a little update on life.

Life is crazy.

Consider yourself updated...

Ok, a few more details. We are currently in negotiations to be working and living at Wesleyan Woods Campground starting soon and ending whenever God tells us. If you have a camper trailer, 5th wheel, or similar mobile liveable unit that you would like to donate or sell to us for cheap, let us know.

Our plan is to continue our involvement in Kingston Wesleyan Church, although some things will change due to leaving the Youth Director postion.

I don't have an official start date with the camp or an official end date with the church or YFC but I basically don't have any mroe events planned with YFC other than the weekly things I do. As for KWC, I have a few more things, including a 30 Hour Famine on the 27-28th of this month.

We will be kicking off the famine with a benefit concert which will include performances by Friends of Jesus, The Following: and hopefully The Sellouts.

Aurelia is walking and being cute as always. Kassie is awesome. I am getting over a cold or something like that.

Now, you can consider yourself updated or contact me for more info.

Called To Controversy

Expectations are important. When I requested Called To Controversy by Ruth Rosen from the BookSneeze program, I was expecting an inspirational story of a man who overcame controversy to share the gospel with Jewish people. While the story is about that type of man, and it is, at some points, inspirational, it is much longer and more biographical than I was expecting. I am sure it paints a great picture of who Moishe Rosen was with great detail. However, I wasn't looking for a biography.
Needless to say, I became uninterested in the book and had a difficult time continuing to read it. I must admit, I did not finish the book.
Although, if you are looking for a biography of Moishe (Martin) Rosen, this is probably the book for you. It is clear that the writer went to great lengths to ensure the accuracy of the information. She makes it clear what was actually said by Mr. Rosen, what came from secondary sources, and so on.
I don't think I would suggest this book for anyone, unless, as I mentioned earlier, they were interested in a biography of Moishe Rosen.
