A few weeks ago I posted an interview Frank did with Doug Jones. He also did a similar interview with Doug Wilson around the same time.
As a pastor, how important is reading?

Heaven Misplaced has been out for just over a month now, and we’ve had some very good feedback from our readers. You can see a complete list of blog reviews here; I’ve included a sampling below.
From a LibraryThing review:
This book is based on scripture and is definitely recommended for those who want to see God’s grace and love spread over all the earth. Honestly, I enjoyed this book. It took me a while to read it and even longer to write the review, but I’m glad that I read it. This is not one of those books that you read to escape reality, but a book you read that will change your life.
From the InternetMonk:
Discussions in print of postmillennialism are rare enough, but simple and understandable ones are nearly unheard of. The average student of Christianity or eschatology never gives postmillennialism much of a thought and given what one would encounter in a typical evangelical discussion of the future, the lack of attention to postmillennialism is no great loss. Now, however, there is a well-written, interesting exposition of postmillennialism from the pen of Douglas Wilson. Heaven Misplaced is a new release from Canon Press that is essential for anyone wanting to actually understand postmillennialism enough to expound and explain it to the average person.
From Sarah Groves:
Even if you are not convinced by Historic Optimism, you will still find this book encouraging. Wilson evocatively reminds us of what Jesus’ death and resurrection actually accomplished. He really is the Lord of all nations. He really has been given authority over all powers. All we have to do is declare the authority and power that Jesus already has. If you are serving in what looks like a fruitless situation, these reminders are timely and life-giving.
If you have written a review yourself, or know of another, please send me an email and let me know.

A year ago, we lucky readers were introduced to the world of Henry York in Nate Wilson’s 100 Cupboards (the first volume in a trilogy of the same name). We watched as he chipped plaster off his attic bedroom wall, explored new worlds, and found himself the prey of a dangerous witch.
On February 24th the adventure continues with Dandelion Fire. Join Henry, Uncle Frank, and Henrietta as they travel deeper through the cupboards, encounter greater dangers and enemies, and discover new strengths and gifts within. If you enjoyed 100 Cupboards, Dandelion Fire will enthrall you as it adds layers and deep magic to the world that Nate Wilson has crafted.
The first 200 pre-orders from Canon Press will receive a limited edition signed and numbered bookplate with their book. Order now to make sure that you don’t miss out on this offer, because it won’t last long!
