MacArthur starts the preface of the book with a statement that many will find controversial, or they will just down right be appalled that Pastor John would believe that there has been a centuries old cover-up in regards to a key word in the Bible. He states, "It wasn't until the spring of 2007, on an all-night flight to London while reading 'Slave of Christ' by Murray J. Harris, that I realized there had been a centuries-long cover-up by English New Testament translators that had obscured a precious, powerful, and clarifying revelation by the Holy Spirit." He does go on to say, "Undoubtedly, the cover-up was not intentional--at least not initially." So, what is that cover-up? It's the translation of the word 'doulos' in the Greek and 'ebed' in the Hebrew. Those words translate to 'slave' but are most often translated as 'servant'. That seems like a small difference to most of us but Pastor John is going to point out how the two words slave/servant or vastly different in what God intended for their usage. MacArthur believes that our English translators started to use the term 'servant' because of the political backlash of the term 'slave' and the problems that it created over the centuries for English speaking countries. England and America fought political battles and actual wars because of 'slavery'. So, to tell the believer in Christ that he was a 'slave' seemed to carry a very derogatory definition. Servant seemed softer and more palatable for the English speaking world to accept. But that is not what the Bible intended. MacArthur does a wonderful job of expressing how God the Father and Jesus the Son intended to use the word. Jesus is the Master and we are His 'slaves'. There is no way around that meaning. Throughout the text MacArthur will share how the people of Jesus time and in the Old Testament would have understood the term Slave. He shares how in the days of the early church roughly 20 percent of all people were slaves, and within the larger cities of Rome, Corinth, Ephesus and Antioch, as many as one-third of the population were legally slaves. So, when Biblical text makes the statement you will be a 'slave' it has a very definite meaning. You are indebted to Christ (He purchased you with His Blood), you are called to be a 'slave' obedient to what the Lord wants you to do, which is the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. This book is filled with examples from the Bible, filled with stories of how the early church members accepted readily that they were 'slaves of Christ', that's what "Christian" meant. My favorite part of the book is MacArthur's discussion of the fact that we were 'slaves to satan/sin' before we knew Christ and that after we came to Christ we became 'slaves to Christ'. You can't serve two masters, you have to choose which master to serve. There is a lot more I could say, but this review is getting a bit long. This book will not have any new teaching if you have always translated the terms as 'slave' and not 'servant'. But if you have taken the 'softer' route of interpretation you will be challenged to look at the terms in a new way and challenged to examine your life in a new way. Are you living as a 'slave of Christ' or not? That is the big question. Enjoy!

Not as good as the The Drawing of the Three and it was kind of weird that they didn't get to the waste lands untill the very end, but the plot thickens...

3.5 this is a good book for any parent- whether you have an explosive child or not. another tool in your parenting bag and also would be good for teachers. I think it takes an insightful or talented person to look at life from the perspective of a child/adolescent and have their thoughts translate into something an adult can understand/deal with better. Heck, i can't even articulate my OWN thoughts to other people. it also makes me feel better as a parent that my child is not as explosive as others (kind of that same feeling you get when you watch those nanny 911 shows or go on facebook and see pictures of friends and think "i should pat myself on the back." Not a nice feeling, for sure, but nonetheless i think we all think it. ok i might know one or two people who don't think things like that.

I picked up this book largely on the basis of its cover and the somewhat cheeky thought that I may find within guidance for a new career I thought I might be embracing. Still might -- if it'll bother to embrace me back. In any case, this one took me a long time to read. And not because it's a long book either; just the opposite, it might be one of the shortest novels I've encountered. It's just... the protagonist Joseph Marti has taken a job as an inventor's assistant and the book largely describes his role in it as the inventor's "business" goes off the rails. Not that a less fantastical story doesn't hold my attention but reading about going to the post office, even set 100 years ago, is about as mundane to me as going to the post-office today (yes, kids, there are still reasons to venture inside on occasion) so I was rather easily distracted by all sorts of other bright and shinies -- books, tv, the internets... It was kind of fascinating to me how little things seem to have changed in the past century in regard to work and being an assistant (office clerk of any kind). And in it's best moments, it reminded me of the early parts of "Of Human Bondage." Honestly, however, I would have to say this was not a book for me at least.

My favorite by Robbins so far. Maybe my favorite book ever.

Pretty good book. But I felt like it was a little childish for me as far as the conversations between the characters went. Good plot, just seemed as though it was a bit out of my age bracket.
Being a male who focuses his October Sundays watching football and being manly (or trying, anyway), I was very apprehensive about reading Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares. Not only is this a girly novel that focuses on girly friendship and romances, but it focuses on sharing magical pants. Oddly enough, I found the novel charming. Brashares does a great job of using one story in a lot of different ways, twisting each viewpoint from the four diverse characters with distinct voice. What ends up happening is a very charming take of friendship and the unity of these teens to overcome adversities. Although I was willing to lower my “Man Shield” to read this text, I didn’t necessarily weep or swoon over the love interests. Brashares still creates a very real piece that does not alienate audiences. This series is definitely recommended to teens everywhere.

Sonunda gerçekten bir yerde Jennie'nin bir portresi olmasını istedim, ancak bu kitabı oldukça güzel buldum. Ama ne yazık ki, yok. Kitap hala tatlı ve iyi bir okuma.
