The print order is in, and my book will be out in 4 weeks!
If you want to request it for your university or seminary library, its ISBN is 978-3-16-163463-5
I’m grateful for the publishing staff’s patience (and Baylor IT’s help) with a bunch of weird glitches that kept me on my toes the last month 😝

No Kings protest today in Waco, Tx. I forgot to take pictures earlier, so this might not have been at the crowd height

Luther’s room at the monastery has been kept as a prayer room. Even the alley behind it is an aged cobblestone road… with the occasional

The stained glass depiction of Mary in Erfurt’s Augustinian church was special. She’s dressed not in white and blue, but in the brown and green of the common medieval people of this (later East) German region.

It’s possible to report the appalling fundraiser for the n-word lady.

This good boy is having his last night of being 15–tomorrow Mushu will be 16. He’s been the best sweet pug for our family, our first young one to raised and then a snuggler full of comfort for our 3 boys. #dogsofbluesky
