In the introduction, SelahV focused on the issue of 'what am I passing on' and discussed some of the everyday things that she has passed on to her daughter. She includes a quote from Families of the Bible about how patterns often repeat within families. In upcoming posts on her blog, SelahV will offer a "sampling" from the book. Please visit her blog at SelahVToday.typepad.com.
She has also posted her first part of the review of the book on her blog. In her review, SelahV says, "I see the evaluations and observations they [Howard Hovde and Louis Moore] make from biblical families and relationships as extremely helpful for today's families and individuals--especially those who cannot understand how to fit their square peg into a round hole of extended family interactions."
On July 16, Dr. Bob Pearle discussed his book, The Vanishing Church: Searching for significance in the 21st century, with hosts Kerby Anderson and Carmen Pate on Point of View. Dr. Pearle, who is also the pastor of Birchman Baptist Church in Fort Worth, TX, and the president of the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention, explained why he thought the evangelical church has been declining in membership over the years. He discussed what he means by a 'supermarket mentality' and offered his thoughts on how churches should actually try to attract members.

This last week in Garland, TX, authors of Families of the Bible: How They Coped with Today's Issues, Howard Hovde and Louis Moore met with one another and their wives for a chat and a quick photo. Dr. Hovde and his wife, Carole, are seated on the couch and Louis Moore and his wife, Kay, are standing in the background.
These two families met first in Louisville, KY, at the church in which Dr. Hovde was associate pastor. After both families moved to Houston, the friendship grew.
Louis Moore spent nearly four decades observing religious life as an award-winning, globe-trotting religion editor with the Houston Chronicle, a media executive in a major religious denomination, and a newspaper editor. He is also a publisher and a former president of the Religion Newswriters Association, the organization for religion reporters on secular newspapers in the United States and Canada.
In the July 14 online edition of the Baptist Press, Bob Pearle's article titled "When the Bubble Bursts." Dr. Pearle discussed a few of the "bubbles" that have burst in the past decade, including the dot-coms, the financial sector, the housing market and the oil industry. He compares those to the current bubble that is seen in churches throughout the country. Dr. Pearle goes on to explain why this is occurring and what should be done (and who we should turn to) in order to prevent the bubble from 'bursting'.
You can read the article on the Baptist Press website.

In a thorough review of Peter Lumpkins' Alcohol Today: Abstinence in an Age of Indulgence, SBC Impact blogger Chris Johnson says Lumpkins "really did go beyond my expectations." In the blog post, which can be seen at SBC Impact, Johnson moves through the book and explains what he gets out of each section. In one part of the post, Johnson explains that Lumpkins' discussion of the wedding in Cana at which Jesus turns the water into wine, is "the most attractive section of the entire book in my opinion".
