Author: Bob Hayton

I am a graduate of a conservative independent fundamental Bapist college who has discovered new life in Reformed Theology. This blog is where I chronicle my journey out of extreme fundamentalism (IFBx) while discussing the shortfalls of fundamentalism and the strengths of Calvinism. I'm under no illusion that I might transform fundamentalism, but I hope to share my struggles and discoveries with others who might benefit from my journey.

Seeing & Savoring Jesus Christ by John Piper

~ Bob Hayton

I have been reading an excellent book, Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ by John Piper. This book really directs your heart and mind toward Jesus Christ. It highlights the revelation of the character, worth, and glory–indeed beauty–of Jesus Christ given to us in the gospels. The chapters are short and devotional. But they are very thought-provoking and would provide excellent fodder for extended meditation. I encourage you to add this book to your bookshelf too!

Update: This book is also available to read online here!

Why December 25?

~ Bob Hayton ~ 3 Comments

Justin Taylor, of Between Two Worlds, gives us an interesting post summarizing an article by G.E. Veith for World Magazine on the origins of Dec. 25 being the day we celebrate Christ’s birth. Apparently there is no connection at all to a pagan festival on that day. That oft alleged criticism is pure urban legend.
