The (Spiritual) Adventures of Cyber Cindy

I have finished all my essays! One of the benefits of this is I am now able to read all the books that I have been unable to read while studying. Here is one I read this week that I commend. The first warning is this book by Gill Rowell has both a name and a cover that makes it look like it is a book for teenage girls. The truth is it's a book about hermeneutics. That sound's really dull doesn't it? Well, don't despair, it is actually a very stimulating read and wonderfully explores Ruth and the Samaritan woman and how we should interpret them in the context of post-modernity.

" If you wish to communicate,
On this one thing please meditate:
Avoid pretence, be real, be true,
That I might know who's really you.
Show me yourself in honesty,
And not the you you'd have me see.
We will not progress very far,
Unless you show me who you are.
Yet all is lost if you don't see
The person who is really me!"

G Bailey ( in the Foreward of Cyber Cindy)

Rowell brings both these biblical women to life, makes them real and asks some searching questions along the way. John Goldingay, who is an OT professor at Fuller, says in his review 'Cybercindy is the most exciting un-putdownable Christian book I have ever read. Buy it quick'. In truth, I am probably too dim to see its genius but of its genre and for its sheer originality it deserves a space on the shelf and some considered attention. Even now, I am mulling over these stories and seeing them in a different way. I hope some may enjoy it.

The book will give insight into the Book of Ruth, its background and its relevance. It is imaginatively written and based on sound research into Old Testament scholarship. It is so unpretentious that you may not realize how good it is.

you've hit the nail on the head. The issue is something which too few folks are speaking intelligently about. I'm very happy I

Hiya! Quick question that's completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone. I'm trying
to find a theme or plugin that might be able
to fix this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share.
Thanks!

With havin so much written content do you ever run into
any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement?

My website has a lot of unique content I've either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being ripped off? I'd definitely appreciate
it.
