Because I can't help it anymore...



Here's an incomplete list of some recent links back to PyroManiac. I didn't have a lot of time to assemble a longer list. If I get an opportunity, I'll do more BlogSpotting soon.

I agree. I once heard an anecdote about how people could qualify for release from the insane asylum. The staff, who conducted annual examinations hit upon this idea...

They would put each candidate for release into closed courtyard in which there was a mop and bucket, and a spigot from which water was gushing. Those inmates who turned off the spigot before attempting to mop up were the ones that were released.

Same thing.

Phil,
Thanks for "spotting" me. It has led to a whole bunch of old friends re-connecting!
As for Michael Haykin, have you checked out his personal web site at http://haykin.luxpub.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
There is a growing assortment of excellent (and I assume yet unpublished) biographical works and historical papers. All for free!
An excellent resource.

Phil,
I thought of one more resource today that you and your readers might appreciate. We have a four-part series of lectures (in print http://gfcto.com/articles/theology/articles.htm and in free audio download http://gfcto.com/audio.htm ) of Dr. Haykin lecturing on the history of the church from Pentecost to today.
The reason we asked him to tackle this was the huge lack of basic church history knowledge among Christians in our area. The goal was to get a bird's eye view of the entire 2000 years - and Michael did not disappoint!
I highly recommend downloading the lectures – the notes are not as full.
