I’m excited that Christianity Today picked up The Big Story! Yeah, that’s me on the left at La Jolla Cove.
Here’s a link to an interview that appeared in the July 2008 issue. They just posted it online today, but they didn’t include the graphics that are found in the print version. (Update: Christianity Today [...]

The Urbana Student Missions Conference made True Story their book of the week. Check out their review.

A good friend found this fun article in the latest issue of Fast Company. It’s titled, “The Napkin Sketch,” and talks about how large corporations — such as Wal-Mart, Microsoft, Infosys, and Peet’s Coffee and Tea — are using napkin sketches to communicate large, complex ideas. Sound familiar?

It makes me wish that I lived in a state that had caucuses, to hear a healthy back-and-forth about candidates and [...]

Thank you all for your comments on the original video. I appreciate the encouragements. And I’m thankful for those who offered suggestions and input. Most of your objections are already covered in the upcoming books, True Story and Based on a True Story. At the same time, I can see the need for a bit [...]

Okay, this entry may signal the beginning of this blog’s sharp decline….
But I just finished watching The Bourne Ultimatum, and it was amazing. It’s a smart, taut espionage movie in a great series, and I’m a sucker for spy movies. (Did you all know that I was named after James Bond? No joke, ask my [...]
