Three things you have to like.

The ESV Study Bible
Yeah, it doesn't come out until October. Pre-order now. Read Phil Ryken's review here, and check out the official website, including samples, here. This is the best study Bible I've seen. And it's in the ESV.

I'm just gonna go on record and objectively say the ESV is the best English translation of the Bible. At least for adult-types.

Rambo
This is the best Christian movie I've seen, I think. It's up there with Luther. And unlike the Passion, doesn't break the 2nd Commandment and is more theologically accurate. Nothing beats Stallone staring a dude down, sticking an arrow in his face, having a cross dangle from his wrist, and saying, "Live for nothing - or die for something" - and persuading a group of people that they need to go rescue missionaries.

But, ahem, Rambo is the one who really gets rescued.

Yeah, it's got some cheese moments in it. So what. Check out the trailer. Be aware that there's some grotesque moments in the film, as well as colorful language. Don't say i didn't warn you.

Thrice
Premise 1 - we need to hear the gospel all the time.
Premise 2 - we listen to music.
Premise 3 - most Christian music sucks in one of three ways - the lyrics are virtually non Christian, the lyrics are cheesy as crap, or the actual music sucks. Or at least, is geared towards middle-aged women.

Meet Thrice. They turn all this over on its head.
Image of the Invisible.
Come All You Weary.
The Messenger.

And just for some added fun, here are the lyrics to The Messenger.
It's Isaiah 6, by the way.

The Messenger
Mark me with fear, I'm trembling
Send someone else instead
I know my world is ending
I can't repay my debt

Can I carry such a heavy burden?
Can I move when I am paralyzed?
I see a fire behind a heavy curtain
I lean in closer and I close my eyes

Kiss the coals, breathe in smoke,
And I say, "Here I am, send me."
Lifts my soul, free and so unafraid
"Here I am, send me, send me."
Free and so unafraid
"Here I am, send me."

Mark me with fire and
Send me among the living dead.
They cannot comprehend me;
I watch the sickness spread

Now, can they hear me when their hearts are hardened?
Now, can they see me when they close their eyes?
So let me tell you I'm an easy target
A wooden saw is quite a way to die

Kiss the coals, breathe in smoke,
And I say, "Here I am, send me."
Lifts my soul, free and so unafraid
"Here I am, send me, send me."
Free and so unafraid
"Here I am, send me."

"Here I am, send me."
