What I'm Reading Now - Seventh Month 2008
One of the things that was waiting for me when I got home was a package. And not just any package, but my first shipment of free books, courtesy of The Ooze Select Blogger Book Reviewers Program. (or something like that)
Basically, I got an email inviting me to join this project. They send me a few books every other month and I agree to read (most of) them and write about them on my blog. “What a deal!” I thought, “Is this for real?” A few investigative emails later, I decided to go for it.

Do this "Rapture" one first, Robin. As far I can tell, the whole rapture idea (with a few exceptions) arrived in Christianity no earlier than the 19th century.

I've added you to the Ooze Blogger list. Hope that's okay.
