LASB Bible Study 2 Corinthians

2 Corinthians (Life Application Bible Studies: NLT)

The Life Application Study Bible (LASB) Bible Study of 2 Corinthians is a 13-lesson study “to help us stay loyal to Christ.” I really enjoyed having the entirety of the LASB’s 2 Corinthians text with study notes right in the study. It meant that I never had to go searching for a Bible when I wanted to read through a lesson. This feature will also make it helpful series for seekers who may not own a Bible and are not in a place to invest in a study Bible quite yet.

The instructions on use are very helpful and the time line is sufficient for a class setting. The first lesson was excellent, where as the second was lacking in depth, which was surprising. The different areas of study for each chapter are well thought out and should lead to a deeper understanding of 2 Corinthians. I would recommend this study to groups of new believers, but would hold off of using it with those who are well versed in scripture as it is a bit repetitive in spots.

The book is well laid out and easy to maneuver through. And the notes in the study bible portion are excellent.

Tyndale House Publishers has provided me a complimentary copy of this book.

Stories from the Kitchen: Taste and See

I celebrated my birthday last weekend. It was wonderful and the leftovers left me with a question or two. Find out what they are and how I'm currently answering them in this week's podcast.

Tasty Tuesday: Roasted Broccoli

I ran across this recipe on Pinterest the other day that was labeled " The Best Broccoli Of Your Life. " I normally either steam our broccoli in the microwave or saute it with olive oil and red pepper flakes on the stove top. I decided this would be something to try. I did the salt, pepper and olive oil part of the recipe. I didn't have the majority of the other ingredients. In fact, all I had was a little bit of Parmesan It was wonderful. Not the best broccoli of my life, but honestly, it was pretty close. And if I had the lemon juice and all that jazz, it may very well be the best. What have you been eating lately?

Hospitality for the Rest of Us: Long Distance

People are moving more and more. When I was a youngster, it was a rare instance for a friend to move away. Now it's me that moves away. We've moved a lot, especially when we first got married. It was something like five addresses and three states in the first four years of our marriage. We've slowed down a bit. In the midst of all that moving, we've made some friends along the way. I try to keep an open line in case of times of grief and celebration. One of the best tools I've found for keeping in touch with loved ones far away is Facebook. As much time as I could spend doing other things instead of checking it, it's the best thing I've found. It allows me to communicate with others, without having to call. I know calling is amazing, hearing people's voices, but for introverts, there are no body language clues for us to pick up on that help make our conversations easier. It's also why we prefer to video chat :-) Back to Facebook, some etiquette.
