Summary

The gang is back for one last episode in 2022. There is the usual sports banter (very brief), and some good natured ribbing toward Justin, who seems to know nothing about pop culture but still has dreams about Elvis. The three friends share some of their favorite reads from the past year, and they wrap things up discussing an article by Paul House about J.I. Packer and how to renew evangelicalism.

0:00.0	Greetings and salutations. This is Life and Books and Everything. Good to have you with us.
0:16.4	I'm joined for the last LBE. Perhaps if I write something, I'll read one of my short articles,
0:25.4	but last real LBE of the year. So it's good to have Colin and Justin here with me for all
0:34.1	manner of revelry and book-related hijinks and end-of-year Christmas reflections.
0:41.0	Coming to you in just a moment, I want to thank Crossway and encourage you a book we've
0:47.6	mentioned several times before, but at the end of the year, it's a great time to mention
0:51.4	this again, Be Thou My Vision by Johnny Gibson.

1:11.1	It's lovely to hold and to look at and gives you readings and a prayer and intercessory prayers and from confessions.
1:18.6	And it's kind of a scaled down daily book of common prayer geared with a Presbyterian bent. I mean, what could be better than all of
1:30.1	those things? It really is rich. So pick up a copy. It makes a great Christmas gift or something
1:36.2	as you're starting the New Year's and want to try to re-up your devotional life. This would be a
1:43.4	great resource.
1:45.3	Thank you, Crossway.
1:48.1	Do you guys do New Year's resolutions?
1:53.2	What do you usually do, or do you have something in mind, Colin?
1:58.0	Well, I do, I do have hopes.
2:03.9	You have hopes? I do have hopes. I don't think I formally do the resolutions, but I definitely have hopes that they last me for a little while.
2:10.8	Habits would be better than hopes, but the year is a good time. I mean, it's, you definitely
2:16.0	come through feeling like I'm excited to get back to normal.
