I can't help it. Every so often I have to plug my book -- a duty made easier by the recent flow of reader praise. So here goes. I wrote a book called Rethinking Worldview: Learning to Think, Live, and Speak in This World, which was released by Crossway around this time last year. It's not bound in goatskin. It doesn't even have a sewn binding. But if you like this site, I'm guessing you'll enjoy the book, too.
Today, CPYU Bookshelf published an interview with me about Rethinking Worldview, which you can read here. If you're a Mars Hill Audio Journal subscriber, you can listen to my chat with Ken Myers at the beginning of Volume 90. There are more book-related resources at www.rethinkingworldview.com.
And if you do read the book and enjoy it, please recommend it to others -- and if you're really crazy, think about posting an Amazon review or something like that. It will be greatly appreciated.
I purchased and read this book many months ago as a show of support for this site (actually, "bibledesignblog" was still a part of the jmarkbertrand.com site). My interest in worldview was roughly equivalent to my interest in techniques for skimming dross from aluminum ingots. Nevertheless, I greatly enjoyed the book and have since recommended it to many friends -- as well as to readers of this site. I will repeat (though not verbatim) what I told Mark when I first read the book. I likened it to watching a critically acclaimed, Sundance-ish, Cannes International Film Festival type movie . . . . starring Gene Hackman.
A great actor can rescue most any movie. Mark is an excellent writer who gave me an appreciation for worldview. Perhaps Steve Martin said it best in 1977: "Some people have a way with words. Some people . . . not have way."
Glad to see you plug your own book Mark. Its about time.

Having worked for an aluminum company, I can add a technique for skimming dross from aluminum ingots to Mark's book for Kyle's benefit. I agree with Kyle wholeheartedly and have just purchased Mark's book as well to support this site. Hopefully, I'll begin reading this next week.
