Starting today, you can go to Google Book Search and download full copies of out-of-copyright books to read at your own pace. You're free to choose from a diverse collection of public domain titles — from well-known classics to obscure gems.

Glad to know these day that being an Anglican and the spiritual head of the communion, the Archbishop of Canterbury can still change.

Jocelyn says:

Hi all! It's me again. A few weeks ago I went to the neighbourhood playground with my cousins Erica and Adrian. We had lots of fun!

Today, I went out for dinner with grandma and grandpa and when I came back, Daddy took some pictures of me in my pretty red dress.

Hope you enjoy these pictures!

今天因為一些事情，叫我不得不想到之前我轉載過關於「為何教會不譴責以色列暴力濫殺 ?」。

其中，特別希望弟兄姊妹留意：

黎巴嫩真主黨的行為，偷襲別人，又擄走以色列士兵，不值得同情；然而以色列屠殺無辜平民的野蠻行徑，也同樣不能得著肯定。無論以色列與黎巴嫩真主黨誰是誰非，任何殘害生命的暴力行為，均需受到全球有良知人士的嚴正譴責……

華人教會，深受時代論終末論影響，信仰與政治皆認同以色列人，更有部分認為以色列人是上帝的選民，而以色列的命定是與普世教會復興息息 相關的；因此教會只能為以色列求平安，凡以色列作的，皆要支持，不能反對。在此偏差的神學前設下，所有以色列的軍事行動美化為「自衛式」，是為勢所逼的； 打擊敵人是不能手軟的，一切事件發生皆朝向聖經對終末的預言……

聖經沒有偏幫猶太人，乃是美國教會偏袒以色列，傾斜的外交造成今天的以色列；耶穌向動武者說：「收刀入鞘吧！凡動刀的，必死於刀下。」（太廿六52）任 何暴力濫殺，否定生命，普世教會皆要發出譴責 !

超爆笑港人漫畫 – 聾貓 by siuhak

I was at one of the Christian bookstores here in Toronto the other day and was truly surprised at the markup price of those books! For example, the paperback edition of Dunn's The Theology of Paul the Apostle is marked at $49.99CAD, while if you do a check with Amazon.com, it is $23.10US ($20.99 at Dove) and $29.03CAD if it is bought from Amazon.ca. So even with shipping, to buy online is still A LOT cheaper than at a local bookstore.

Just want to ask all my readers: Do you still go to a local bookstore these days? What keeps you going? From a customer point of view, is there still space for a local bookstore to survive? What do you think?

And for those of you that just stand there at the bookstore reading but not buying, you are only using it as a library. Hence from a customer perspective, there is really no space at all for your local bookstore to survive (but defintely for the Starbucks besides it).
