An April Showers Friday Fun & Free Stuff

It’s raining and I’m in the mood for something fun. Hope you are too!

# 1. FREE BOOK—Tattoos On The Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion by Gregory Boyle.

Um, wow. This book! Here’s what Anne Lamott said about it, “An astonishing book… about suffering and dignity, death and resurrection, one of my favorite books in years. It is lovely and tough and tender beyond my ability to describe and left me in tears of both sorrow and laughter.” Language warning: it’s PG-13. If you don’t win the book, check out Gregory Boyle’s TED Talk (also PG-13). Be the first one to comment on this blog post & I’ll send you a copy (scroll down to the bottom of this page to comment).

#2. FREE BOOK—Beauty Will Save The World by Brian Zahnd.

Here’s a book I really enjoyed this past year – it’s about rediscovering the allure and mystery of Christianity. Be the first one to comment on this blog post & I’ll send you a copy (scroll down to the bottom of this page to comment). Also—follow Brian Zahnd on Twitter. You’ll be glad you did.

#3. VIDEO—A Cat With A Vacuum.

#4. VIDEO—The Wife Song by Tim Hawkins.

#5. VIDEO—It’s The Dad Life.

#6. VIDEO—New Order’s 2nd Reunion Tour.

I’m a child of the ’80′s and I listened to New Order back in the day. I saw them perform on Jimmy Kimmel the other night and couldn’t believe how awkward this looked. I almost thought it was a spoof.

#7. VIDEO—New Order 27 Years Ago Same Song.

Not a thrilling performance. Apparently stage presence isn’t his thing – but I do prefer this (closed eyes, no movement at all) over what it looked like more recently. What do you think?
