It is my goal to try to point readers to what I perceive to me some of the more interesting blog posts and articles available online. I try to post a set of links like this one every other Friday (though that is not a guarantee). For more frequent suggestions visit our After Emmaus page on Facebook.

Two quick things not related to this post:
1. The current layout with plain white background and smaller images seems to load faster. This observation is particularly true on mobile devices.
2. Chris Tomlin’s version of ‘Everlasting God’ is such an amazing song (and it quotes Isaiah)! It’s even better than Lincoln Brewster’s version. I’m not sure if Chris Tomlin’s version is on Youtube, but you should see give it a listen if you haven’t. Your work in Isaiah has reminded me of it and It’s one of my favourite songs (along with Kari Jobe’s version of ‘Revelation Song’ (whose video is on YouTube), Peter Furler’s ‘Psalm 23’, nearly anything by Matt Redman, and ‘The Veil’ by David Crowder Band). I assume you and some of your readers like music by Christians. It might be interesting if you added music to the repertoire of things discussed in your posts … (though the diversity of topics you already is surprisingly broad).
Hi thanks for sharing this. Would be greatful if you took a look at my blog http://www.johnsramblings.com and if you thought fit to include it in your next recommended reading list.
