Book review of "How Long O Lord" by D. A. Carson

Every now and again I read a book that really hits home. D.A. Carson's book "How Long O Lord" was one of those books. After a year of ups and downs in the life of my family it did me well to hear about the suffering of the people of the Bible. At times all of us believe we are the only one suffering. Even more so, we fall victim to the belief that no one has ever suffered as much as are suffering or suffered. This book puts suffering in a biblical perspective. Suffering can always sanctify us, if we let it.

If you are thinking about reading this book, you should. Carson provides a clear, concise treatment of suffering and evil from a biblical standpoint. It is written on a pastoral level and deals with very real issues and circumstances.

Describe Yourself: Avid Athlete

I am a big guy (6'2" 265) and finding running shoes is hard. I took up barefoot running about 9 months ago after being tired of my feet hurting all the time from conventional running shoes. I love barefoot but my feet will probably never be able to run on terrain other than grass without shoes. I was considering 5 Fingers but didn't want to go that extreme. I really like NB and decided to try them.

These shoes are great! There is just a slight rise and they weigh next to nothing. The insole is glued in so you don't have to wear socks (if you wear them in wet weather/terrain). I run about 4-8 miles a week in mixed terrain. I love them.

Three things that aren't perfect on the MT100's. 1. The heel rise. NB, you are so close to making a shoe with extra heel padding, just do it already. 2. The smell. This shoe has a smell to it. Not sure what it is, but I suspect that it is the special cloth on the shoe. Doesn't smell terrible or strong, just kinda smells. 3. Durability. After about 3 or 4 runs a seem started to come loose. It hasn't gotten worse, so time will tell.
