Voddie Baucham Jr. has just written a fascinating and somewhat provocative new book: What He Must Be …If He Wants to Marry My Daughter (Crossway).  Crossway was kind enough to give me a preview of the book, and my wife and I were quite pleased as we skimmed through it last night.  Baucham is...

I found a new plugin which will extract my latest shared items from my Google Reader at regular intervals. They won’t all be explicity feminist articles - there will be political, science and atheist pieces as well. I’m going to configure it to be a bit more obviously Hoydenish too (even...
