Thanks for coming! I plan to post a lot of interesting articles and comment on a wide range of things-- from political to religious, from private to public, from formal writing on public policy to snippets on random observations.
From a brief review in World...
Rodney Stark's God's Battalions: The Case for the Crusades puts into perspective medieval Europe's counterattack against Islam. A longer book also from a secular publishing house, Jonathan Phillips' Holy Warriors happily continues to reverse recent tendencies to curse the crusaders.
I haven't read those yet, but have read this one.

First and foremost, I am saved by God's grace as manifested most clearly through the atoning death of Jesus Christ-- and thus, adopted into His family. As a result, I increasingly seek to extend His grace to others in my daily life. On the home front, I am a husband and father to four young men (two by adoption and two the more conventional way). Professionally, I am an economist who loves to teach and is active in public policy circles. Vocationally, I am an active writer and the author of three books (one on the book of Joshua; two on public policy-- one secular, one Christian). Finally, I am the co-author of a 21-month discipleship curriculum, Thoroughly Equipped (and a lighter 36-week version), for developing competent lay-leaders in the Church. Related to that work, Kurt and I have two books, Enough Horses in the Barn and Roll Up Your Sleeves.

As a result of this blog post, I bought the book by Rodney Stark -God's Batallions. It is a very interesting perspective on the Crusades that I had not heard previously.
Thanks for the recommendation, Eric.
