Well, the Shock Family Revival is in full swing and The Parson's Son is emerging (oops!) as the Prime Time Evangelist!
Due to Eat This Book, the class that I (The Good Wife) have been teaching on how to study the Bible (which the ENTIRE household of the Parson is attending, INCLUDING the Parson), the Parson's Son declared that he could not live one more day without a KJV Thompson Chain Bible. So, of course, we set out to buy him one. After all, if your Son asks for Bread, you don't give him a Stone. And if he asks for Thompson Chain, you don't tell him to just continue to use his Kiddie Version, cartoon-illustrated, New Living Translation. You get him a Thompson Chain.
Once home with his brand-new, black leather, gold-embossed, KJV, Thompson Chain Bible, he immediately began to practice some of his new Bible Study Skills that he has been learning at Eat This Book. And he immediately received insight into why none of us need to complain on this 40-day Daniel fast that we have now been on for 14 days. He drew verses from Jeremiah and tied them into a passage in Esther, and lo and behold if that Boy didn't come up with some Really Good Stuff!
He said it was all because of his new Thompson Chain Bible.
And I said that if that was all it took we would buy Gold Plated ones for each young person in the youth group.
The Parson said that he has won the right to claim Chief Evangelist title for the rest of the duration of the Shock Family Revival.

I agree...gotta love studying with a Thompson Chain Bible! :)
I'd love to take part in the book club! Should've had my husband buy me a Kindle before we left the states. :) Meanwhile, I've enjoyed your blogs on 'Eat This Book'! Thanks for sharing this inspiration and insight in a way that those of us on the other side of the world can enjoy, too!
