Bob’s Links – Site Information
This whole site is essentially a linkpost: it contains links to things I have found interesting, mostly related to Christianity, but occasionally to social, tech or humor.
I welcome conversation on these posts. You do have to click the post title to go to the page with the comment box.

Inexpressible by Michael Card: Preface
(Michael Card, Inter Varsity Press) “Inexpressible by Michael Card: Preface”Two things I never do: recommend a book before I’ve really read it and point to content on Google or Amazon. I’m doing both here, because I just finished the preface to Michael Card’s new book, Inexpressible, and I was floored by it. The book is about Hesed, and the preface alone is worth the price of the book. The link is to the preview of the book on Google Books. Read More
