Like about a couple of million people, I’m curious to see if Harry Potter actually dies in the last book of the legandary series.
If you’re as anxious (or just curious) as I was to see what happens, the Daily Telegraph has a synopsis of the final book here.

Who Dies? Harry Potter or Voldemort?
Published by July 22nd, 2007 in Fiction Mystery and Christology. 1 CommentDuring my prep for Sunday I re-read several chapters from JP Moreland’s Scaling the Secular City: A Defense of Christianity.

Amazing Grace in the Life of William Wilberforce by John Piper
Published by January 17th, 2007 in General. 2 CommentsCrossway Books sent me an advanced copy of John Piper’s Amazing Grace in the Life of William Wilberforce. I’ve heard Piper reads a lot of biographies and makes it a regular habit to write about them and retell their stories and ministries.
Wilberforce is an outstanding story of radical grace …
And here’s a description of the […]
… if so, send me an email.
I’m looking for people who will write book reviews for the Lounge, who are:
Able – to write decent reviews
Willing – to actually write them
Book nerds – must have a semi-controllable addiction to good books
