Introduction

Greetings!
Thanks for checking out my first blog post. 

What to expect:
I've set a goal to read and write reviews for at 25 books this year, so that will show up here. In this blog I will periodically post book reviews for books I've read recently. Most of these books with be related to history or Christianity. However, there will also be some reviews over books on evolution, alternative spiritualities, fiction,  and a variety of other topics as I seek to grow my knowledge and better understand my fellow human beings. In addition to book reviews there will be occasional check-ins from my life, some discussions on current events, probably some expositions on scripture, and a plethora of other things.

About me: 
I am a Christian (as you might have already guessed). I am a senior history major at Washburn University with aspirations to go to graduate school (hopefully at Baylor University) and a final goal to teach history at a university.  I am, as of two months ago, the son of a widowed mother. I am an avid reader. I am insatiably curious, endlessly ponderous, and tirelessly investigative.

In my next blog I will review the books I've read in the last month. Which to this point include Sex isn't the Problem (Lust is) by Joshua Harris, A Severe Mercy by Sheldon Vanauken, Real Marriage: The Truth About Sex, Friendship, and Life Together by Mark Driscoll, and Doctor Faustus by Thomas Mann. Thanks for checking out my blog and embarking on this journey with me. And until next time keep reflecting the light.
