Yesterday in the mail, I received a book that was on my Amazon wish list. A friend happened upon a copy for free and graciously mailed it to me. I’m pretty confident that I’ll be taking it with me on my trip, but I also wanted to take Things as they Are. I can’t take [...]


Tim, after months of putting the purchase off and then waiting to finish another book, I have finally read your book. I loved it. Thank you for writing it. I’m terribly sorry it took me this long.

This is part one of a series I hope to finish writing soon. The reason this is part one is because it offers no writing on my end. It may seem a bit out of order by the time all is said and done, but this will hold me accountable to finish it. Hopefully your [...]


Two books I’ve just finished reading are Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson. Although these books are completely different in story lines and geography they both served a huge purpose in opening my eyes up to Islam and the Muslim culture. I’ll probably post about them again sometime [...]
