Welcome back to the Bible Sherpa. I have to apologize for not posting any updates for the last couple weeks. I have been trying to focus my time and attention on getting the podcast and the Bible Guides going (don’t forget that the really good stuff on this website is still yet to come!). Sometimes you just gotta focus on one thing at a time. I do still owe you all the rest of the Love Lie countdown, and of course the results of the most ridiculous love songs vote. For now I just wanted to point out that I updated the Author Bio.

The tricky business of asking for a testimonial…
So I was thinking to myself, “Hey Kris (that’s what I call myself when I’m thinking), what if someone comes to check out your website and they’ve never met you before and they just don’t know if they can trust you. You could tell them that you are someone they can trust, but that’s pretty weak – anyone could say that about himself. Why don’t you ask someone for a testimonial about you.” (A testimonial is a quote from someone who knows you, who vouches for you and basically tells people that you rock and they should buy your book or whatever).
Now this is sort of a funny business, asking for a testimonial. It’s sort of like saying, “Hey, would you say really nice things about me so I can tell everyone how awesome you think I am?” On the other hand, you folks need to know if you can trust me, (more…)
