Hi all-

My family and I are flying back to Beirut this Sunday afternoon. We'd appreciate your prayers. This next year I'll be working on two projects: 1) An Arabic study Bible for Muslims and 2) what I'm calling "Face to Face"--a Research Center for Inter-Faith Dialogue.

Lastly, I just finished Geisler's '97 book "Remaking God in Man's Image." I have to hope he's checking this site out from time to time and will see this. I honestly mean this; as I read his articulation of "Orthodoxy" I said repeatedly to myself, "I've never believed a good deal of this." Then as I read his articulation of the Open View I said to myself, "If I knew nothing about the open view I'd be VERY interested in finding out more. This sounds like a workable deal." In short, don't read this book if you're on the fence; it'll push you toward the open view.

And to all the Gatekeepers, a very happy New Year!

Tom

Hey Tom! I hope things work out with your two projects. I'll be praying for you and your family bro. Thanks for the insight on Geisler's book--although I probably would never purchase it.
God Bless

TGB, I didnt' realize you were in Lebanon working with Muslims. What is this Inter-Faith Dialogue you speak of? Christian-Islam?

Yeah, it's Christian-Muslim. There's another brother in Christ (former Muslim) who (hopefully) will partner with me in it. We'll situate it among the universities downtown Beirut and make it a cyber-cafe-slash-study center.

Blessings,
Tom
