Monday Start: Resources for the Week

Great Questions for Self-Reflection

Peter Scazzero has written two good posts entitled “Leadership and Differienation.” (Part one here, part two here and part three here.)  This is a good example of a leader who wrestles with helpful reflective questions.  (Scazzero is the author of Emotionally Healthy Christianity.)

Wonderful Pictures!

“The 30 Best Places to be if You Love Books.”  (Thanks to Rachel Held Evans.) 

Wisdom

John Willis, longtime Old Testament professor at Abilene Christian University (and one of my favorite teachers) has written a powerful post “Controlling Other People: This is a Heart Issue.”  He specifically addresses control issues of parents/grandparents, elders, and administrators.

Lost Child

This is a very sobering piece which appeared in Texas Monthly about a child who spent her first nine years in some extraordinarily difficult circumstances.  One encouraging theme in the story is the love and self-sacrifice later shown by foster parents.

Teaching

Howard Hendricks, longtime professor at Dallas Theological Seminary passed away last week. Hendricks taught at the seminary since 1952.  See this moving conversation between himself, Churck Swindoll, and several others regarding his life and ministry.
