Top 5 Favorite Movies

I was inspired today by Nick Norelli's post titled, Top 10 List: Movies I never get sick of. However, I'll take the shorter route and go for my top 5 favorite movies or movie series.

  1. Office Space (This movie helped survive for 5 years at my last job. Very therapeutic.)
  2. Bourne Trilogy
  3. Lord of the Rings Trilogy
  4. Initial D - You have to watch it with subtitles, but it puts the Fast & the Furious movies to shame.
  5. National Treasure 1 & 2

A Reader's Hebrew Bible

I wanted to extend a word of thanks to the fine folks at Zondervan for sending me a copy of A Reader's Hebrew Bible. As has been noted by several other bloggers, it is a beauty to behold. The Italian Duo-Tone binding and the actual box are quite attractive. This would make a fine gift for a 1st year Hebrew student or pastor. Time permitting, I'll be posting this review in the next few weeks. My review will contrast A Reader's Hebrew Bible against my trusty BHS from Deutsche Bibelgisellschaft. You can find out more about this book here: LINK.

The Fisherman's Testament by Cesar Vidal

I wanted to extend a word of thanks to the fine folks at Zondervan for sending me a copy of The Fisherman's Testament by Cesar Vidal. It has been awhile since I've read any fiction, so I'm very excited about getting into this book. I'm a big fan of historical fiction of this time period. Time permitting, I'll be posting this review in the next few weeks. You can find out more about this book here: LINK.

Why We're Not Emergent - by Kevin Deyoung and Ted Kluck

I wanted to extend a word of thanks to the fine folks at Moody Publishers for sending me a copy of Why We're not Emergent (By Two Guys who should Be) by Kevin Deyoung and Tek Kluck. This is a very relevant topic that needs to be considered by the church at large. I'm sincerely looking forward to reading and reviewing this book. Time permitting, I'll be posting this review in the next few weeks. You can find out more about this book here: LINK.
