在家晚飯，看見一則基督教書室的「開學大優惠」：

我：「嘩，而家真係生意難撈，基督教書室同開學有乜關係…？」

Cc：「唔係呀，佢地都有筆呀、簿呀，嗰D嘢賣…」

我：「但係唔係嗰D貨減價喎！」再睇真一點：「係屬靈書呀、聖經呀…唔通趁各位同學要開學，送本聖經俾你先？」

姨媽：「噢，我知，我知…」

「係神學生要開學嘛…」

眾人：!#$&*@(#$!…

若你有意接受神學訓練，但不知自己能否應付？
或是你有心深入了解跟基督信仰有關的研究，但在云云書海中，不知如何入手？

你可參考以下出自加神的書單。這是他們MDiv 的學科課本及延伸閱讀。絕大部份都是華文書（一些是中譯 ）  。

1. 一年中文書目
2. 二年中文書目
3. 三年中文書目

不要被這些長長的書單嚇怕。相反，視這些為神學院老師幫你精挑細選的好書。我常說，基督教出版質素的參差也是信徒靈命裹足不前的原因之一。今天你在書室亂買、亂讀，後果可能和你不買、不讀一樣嚴重。

重視這些書單，它會成為你生命中的好嚮導。

Hear two newly discovered Mozart pieces here.

Discovered compositions were played for public using Mozart’s own piano forte in Salzburg, his hometown.

Jocelyn, Cc and I were at Enoch Summer Camp during the Civic Holiday long weekend. It’s been a while since the last time I posted some family pictures. Hope you enjoy them!

The PocketMod is a new way to keep yourself organized. Lets face it, PDAs are too expensive and cumbersome, and organizers are bulky and hard to carry around. Nothing beats a folded up piece of paper. That is until now. With the PocketMod, you can carry around the days notes, keep them organized in any way you wish, then easily transfer the notes to your PDA, spreadsheet, or planner. The PocketMod is a small book with guides on each page. These guides or templates, combined with a unique folding style, enable a normal piece of paper to become the ultimate note card. It is hard to describe just how incredibly useful the PocketMod is. It’s best that you just dive in and create one.

Build a PocketMod now!
