... South America, and was the only white person in my youth group, but was TUCC similar? Well, John Hobbins of the Ancient Hebrew Poetry blog has attended there, and he manages to say many of the things I felt, but for which I never found the right words. I strongly commend his posts Unity Day at Barack Obama’s Church of Origin: What the MSM will never tell you and Unity Day at Trinity...

As expected, John’s Carnival is superb. One issue that comes up regularly is the work required to [...]

Well done to John Hobbins (all of them) for a massive three-parter Carnival, where John apologises for not including everything! He does, mind you, have a lot to say between the links, but it’s all very entertaining. And it’s so on time! OTOH this makes those of us who are lined up for future carnivals distinctly [...]

The Highly Esteemed John Hobbins of Ancient Hebrew Poetry gave Kouya Chronicle a mention in a recent post (not without me dropping a gentle hint elsewhere). John writes: Eddie prefers NLT to all other translations for his daily reading and I wouldn’t doubt that he makes considerable use of it when going about translating the Bible [...]

In the midst of a paean to his own excellent education and linguistic facility, he also says this: Everywhere around me, I see believing Jews and Christians training to be scientists, doctors, lawyers, and engineers capable of commanding an immense wealth of [...]

... of NLT fans: Rick Mansfield at This Lamp Wayne Leman at Better Bibles Yours truly at Lingamish John Hobbins at Ancient Hebrew Poetry Yep, you heard it right.

As I mentioned a week or so ago, John Hobbins has organized a group of us to comment on children’s books that were influential on or immensely enjoyed by us. It is hard for me to decide. It might surprise some that although I knew the Chronicles of Narnia quite well I don’t remember reading [...]
