Self-editing

The most difficult feat of human concentration is walking across Niagara Falls on a tightrope during a windstorm. The second most difficult feat of human concentration, editing your own writing! Only because of sin can we be so blind to our own errors.

And both of these feats of concentration are impossible without practice. So for all the writers out there who are never done tweaking, and changing, and shifting, and adding and deleting words and ideas to your writing (like me), this new book — The Artful Edit: On the practice of editing yourself by Susan Bell — looks very promising.

For more information, see Evan Sparks’ short review at The American titled, “Edit Thyself: A Maxim for the New Media”.

Savior CD from Sovereign Grace Music

Of all my favorite worship CDs I would rank Savior: Celebrating the Mystery of God Become Man from Sovereign Grace Music as one of my favorites (along with Songs for the Cross Centered Life and Valley of Vision). Savior was released in time for Christmas last year, though I found myself listening to the record all throughout the year.

Our good friend Bob Kauflin explains more about the project in this video.

More information about the Savior project can be found here.

And some bloggers qualify for a free copy of the CD. More info here.

David Crowder Band – Here is Our King

This has become a personal favorite worship song. The studio recording of this song can download through iTunes for a buck.
