Off to The Clash

This week I'm serving as a counselor at the Sovereign Grace-sponsored world view training camp "The Clash." You can read about the camp and the content of its teaching at their web page. I've been really looking forward to my time here.
I signed up to serve as a counselor at the camp for the simple reason that I want to learn what they're teaching! Of course, I hope to be able to serve the students (ages 17-20) too, but I have to be honest about my motivation. The chance to sit under Jeff Purswell's teaching and learn from Nathan Sasser who works as his research assistant is a real treat.
Nathan is the driving force behind "The Clash." Those of you who frequent the New Attitude blog know him as "The Woodsman." Recently, they featured an interview with Nathan that I think you'll find helpful. And Nathan's father's church recently did a series on apologetics in which Nathan taught a 2-part lecture.

Bad Guy Caught With a Mac: This is a great story. A girl's Apple laptop gets stolen but she uses a remote access program to control it and takes a picture of the thief as the doofus sits in front of the stolen computer. "Smile! You're getting your mug shot taken!" Using the picture, the police nab the bad guy. Moral of the story? Don't mess with a high-tech girl's Mac.
New Word Alive's Top 10: The recent New Word Alive conference showed a video top-ten list of books for students. My book Sex is Not the Problem made the list. It's pretty funny. I just wish mine could have made it in the wok.
Challies on Do Hard Things: Here's a review by Tim Challies of my brothers' new book Do Hard Things.

Church?
"I am reading Joshua Harris book Stop Dating the Church...love it. He talks about the people who believe they can be Christians and never go to church. I have heard this argument many times. They don't believe you have to fellowship..." (Read full post here.)
Jargon Meets Advice
"Boy Meets Girl: I read part of this back when I bought it 7-ish years ago. If you get past the jargon-y parts it has some solid advice." (Read full post here.)
A Brief Review
"I think this book [Sex is Not the Problem (Lust Is)] would appeal to both teenagers and parents, although I would give the parents the book first to read. This is not explicit in its language but it does tackle the difficult questions." (Read full post here.)

Keep up the good work Joshua, it's an important work you are doing. I share many of your sentiments.
In this age happy marriages, and the traditional family almost seems like something of the past but there are those like you and I who do not accept this but rather up hold the virtues of oldfashioned and pure marriage.
I have often though that perhpasI was born in the wrong era and wanted to go back in to when there was chivalry, romance in marriage and integrity. When women were ladies and men were gentlemen. But this doesn't have to be just a thing of the past that we read of in history books, it can be our future! ...If we can just change the future :-)

Hey Josh, Jo Coda remembered that you said at the end of the clash that you (CLC) would be sending us a book about the roles of men and women or something.
is that still the plan?
we never received any...
