The Big Picture
John Bird reviews Mark Dever’s What Does God Want of Us Anyway?, which he says “is s a quick overview of the whole Bible,” and adds that it would be difficult “to find a more concise yet more helpful book on understanding the Word of God.” (While We Sojourn)
Birthday Girl
Today was Beverly Cleary’s 94th birthday. In honor of the big day, here are 10 tidbits about Beverly Cleary and her books. (mental_floss Blog)
I read more Beverly Cleary books aloud to youngest son than I can count. He loved Henry, Ribsy, and Beatrice. (Pesky little Ramona, however, frustrated him.) Oldest daughter read them for herself. How about your family? Anyone read these books?
Saddest Cookbook
Any guesses as to which cookbook is the saddest one in the whole wide world? (Make sure you don’t just look at the picture, but read the text for the story of what might be the worst gift ever.) (Serious Eats)
