Itβs a classic look & itβs totally inert (itβs basically diaper rash cream) - and super effective

Great book! Expounds scripture's teaching on healing divisions really well!

Other have also mentioned: All Quiet of the Western Front is great (I think the literal title translation is even better: "In the West, Nothing New")

Sadly, saying βum, sir, these kids are 9 & 10β didnβt tend to shut them up. Nor did βum, you canβt do that in this kind of footballβ¦β π₯΄
Itβs pathetic.
My dad stopped coaching my soccer teams after I was in 4th gr for basically the same issue (and when he moved down to coach my younger sibs heβd quit after 2nd or 3rd gr).
Mind you, this was in the 80βs, when most white US suburbanite patents had NOT A CLUE how soccer was playedβ¦

I told her my heart was glad her mind immediately combatted such obvious error
And we dis-enrolled her in that class / used another curriculum that didnβt promote mammon worship
DR and his daughter are going on about βDonβt you want to be rich? Wanting to be rich is good! Well, in this video, weβre going to teach you how to be rich!β
After playing this segment, she turns around and looks at us and says - βwhat about β those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, β¦
The incident that sealed my opinion of DR was when one of our older kids was in a high school coop - and for one class they did a DR teen video series. Our daughter is watching the intro, and is shocked - βmom, dad - look at this!β

Mr Ortlund - I greatly appreciate all your wise books/podcasts/etc.
And as a Columbus native and an Ohio State grad, I share your love for the Buckeyes!
But I am curious: how did a guy who grew up in southern California and went to Wheaton end up an Ohio State football fan? π
esp. relevant, since earlier in chapter 5 Peter exhorts shepherds to lead their sheep gently & not for personal gain...
And there's a variety of other times God uses the imagery of lions to pronounce woe on the greedy/unjust, or the Psalmist calls out to God to rescue him from lions, etc, etc
Or, if they really knew their bibles, there's also a very significant lion motif that you really do NOT want to link yourself to, e.g.:
"Be sober-minded, be alert. Your adversary the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour." -- 1 Peter 5:8 (CSB)
WOW!

Scientists who study climate don't automatically attribute all changes to human activity. Rather, we carefully investigate every possible natural factor that could explain the planet's warming.
Could these be the real culprits?
The evidence is in--and the answer is NO.

If you are looking for great ice cream, I highly recommend Jeni's. (Chain that started in c-bus.)
Schmidt's is also a "classic" - and save room for one of the giant cream puffs!
