In July, 2009, I said Richard Stearns’ first book, “The Hole in our Gospel:What does God Expect of Us?” was an amazing read, calling Christians to accountability. Stearns’ latest book, “Unfinished” takes up where “A Hole in our Gospel” left off. While the first book talked of the missing pieces of the Gospel, Unfinished shows us […]

Redemption: A Rebellious Spirit, a Praying Mother, and the Unlikely Path to Olympic Gold by Bryan Clay My rating: 4 of 5 stars Who besides Bryan’s prayer warrior mother dared to dream and trust God that he would turn from living as a drinking, fighting, selfish and self-destructive, insecure-but-arrogant young man? Redemption, Bryan Clay’s autobiography
Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese My rating: 5 of 5 stars This may be one of the most compelling stories I’ve ever read. The beauty and majesty of Verghese’s prose is astonishing.

Calico Joe by John Grisham My rating: 4 of 5 stars John Grisham never fails to deliver.

At first, I wondered if I’d gotten myself into a Young Adult book, as

Behemoth by Jonathan C. Leicht My rating: 2 of 5 stars The Title is Behemoth. Jonathan C. Leicht is the author. It’s Creation vs Evolution. In a famous game preserve in the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, some of the Park’s animals turn up dead – killed in a fashion that doesn’t make sense to

This is a new well in a remote community – in a cattle field! We drilled to a depth of abut 55 meters (~165 feet). Just to the side – about 30 feet from the well stands a tree that local bad guys use as a torture point, called “palo diablo” or “devil tree.” The

It’s been an interesting couple of weeks. I’ve spent most of this week at Terry’s house, resting my back, which I tweaked again, but thankfully is almost back to normal now. As I’m writing this post, we have 4 well clubs working, with another ready to begin drilling next Tuesday or Wednesday. Speaking of well

This is Santos, washing his hands with water pumped for the first time (at over 5 gallons/min!) from HIS OWN new well, which Water For All (WFA) taught HIM to drill; today we helped him complete the pump installation, and he will now be the pump installation “expert” for his water club (of 4 more
