re "the grip of sin" by paul twist
as i attend numerous churches I hear many homilies, sermons, messages, and try to jot down a word, phrase, paragraph, etc as I listen...so that there's a memorable "takeaway" ...rather than have it go in one ear and out the other. It also helps me make sure the pastor/priest et al is being "honest" and not tryin to "slip one past" us. Sometimes "they" do get a bit lazy at times, and at least I can comment on it later on this blog
