News on Mary and Tim Perry
Two cool things to note:
1. Here's an interview with my brother Tim Perry on his new book Mary for Evangelicals (IVP: 2006). (And may I add: Tim Perry on CBN???)
2. Here's the link to the new book. While I have read much of the book in ms form, I will review it here when I get a free copy! (Which I was told I would receive....Crusty Guy ain't so Crusty, I guess.... You should also read the interview. Crusty Guy is actually a not-so-old softie towards the end.)
Congrats, Tim! Well done Rachel, Calvin and Sara Jane, too, who contributed to the writing by living in a different setting for a whole year and endured some tough schedules for some of the research time.

You know what would be cool is if you opened the jacket of the book and it played music. I'm thinking of one of the great hymn poets of our time. Here are his words which seem so appropriate:
"Mary, Mary.." WHY YA BUGGIN?
"Mary, Mary.." I NEED YA HUGGIN
[D.M.C.]
Mary Mary Mary you cold thumb suckin
Lookin for you, but you keep duckin
I wanna find you, I gotta tell you somethin
So just be quiet and don't say NUTTIN
Mary Mary Mary why you out there stuntin?
Supposed to be with me, but not you're FRONTIN
We started out new, you used to be true
Now you're buggin, what's wrong with you?
"Mary, Mary.." WHY YA BUGGIN?
"Mary, Mary.." I NEED YA HUGGIN
Oh and congrats Tim. I just may purchase a copy of this myself. (If it is less than $25 and i can get free shipping)
The CBN thing was a surprize for me, too. The interview was actually done with IVP and is used with permission on the CBN site. Still, so long as the Gospel is proclaimed, it matters not who's doing it.
PS: I can bench press three volvos thanks to my taking the new Pat Robertson miracle weightlifing protein shake.
congrats to your brother :)
I bought my copy this afternoon. Aaron maybe we can read it together over the phone.
I just ordered it - Sounds good.
Thanks Kirk and AJ. I now have 5.00 to take one child to McDonald's.

I had no idea Crusy Guy was your brother.
crusty guy is indeed my brother. and he isn't so crusty most of the time.
kirk: i have read parts of harry potter over the phone to telephone delinquents. so, i'll give it a shot. ;)
Hey Robin and they are both related to me which means part of the genetic make up that makes me who I am also makes Tim and Aaron who they are. ooo ooo ooo ahhhahhhahhh (evil laugh) I am sooooo in their head.
I am also related to this illustrious author. Ok I'm actully more like connected, by a marriage or two. Horner is more derectly connected. Basically what I am saying is that pretty much everyone who comments on this blog is relationally connected with Tim in 3 steps or less.
Tim - When I ordered it from Amazon they said they only had one copy left - that might be good or it might just mean they thought the book would bite and only got a couple copies to sell. Either way I'm proud to exagerate and say "I got the last available copy online"
Kirk, I still haven't forgiven you for ripping the fingers off my GI Joe's. I should have thrown you down the stairs when I had the chance.
AJ--Horner is my 1st cousin. You are, as far as I can tell, my first-cousin-in-law's brother. Pretty tenuous connection. Thanks all for buying the book.

Wow your memory is going. I thought it was off your large Star Wars action figure. You really should forgive me as I have forgiven you for hitting me over the head with a hockey stick. If you think about it if Neil Horner and I could produce offspring Tim and Aaron is what we would produce. (and Paul we can't forget Paul)
I don't recall hitting you over the head with a hockey stick. But, it was, I'm sure, for cause and does explain a lot of things.

I plan on ordering it after I've made enough of a profit from selling this semester's text books on amazon.
Well, horner, I didn't write the book for catholics and don't dare to speak on their behalf. They have a little German guy who's doing a bang up job right now doing just that. So, my opinions:
The reason why so many Protestants think that Catholics worship Mary is because so many Catholics worship Mary.
This, however, is inspite of sound Catholic teaching, not because of it.
I remain unconvinced by much of that teaching, but it does not include the worship of Mary.
I dunno whether your dad (or my mom) would benefit from reading the interview. I am confident that they will look over and then ignore the book. That's fine with me.
Crusty
Good enough?
