Don't Mess with Chuck

This is classic. Though not in the holdings at SEBTS, it is at Barnes and Noble.

Update!

As I've said before, I don't actually work at the library anymore, so these posts are fewer and further between, but the good ol' folks over there still look out for this blog! So here are four books to add to the weirdness.

Obviously they're talking about flaming "bundles of sticks" (as in the actual definition of fagot). But, that meaning is almost totally lost today, and so this book is really not P.C.

Children Have Their Reasons, and apparently, child labor is one of them!

Yep.. Satanic Terror. So, next time you see a UFO, consult James 4:7.

And last but definitely NOT least...

No, your eyes aren't deceiving you! That is actually a baptized version of your daily horoscope. (But it's really not much better, they just quote a bunch of verses out of context after your horoscope in order make it "biblical").

Today's entry:

May 7
Look beyond your current testings and anticipate the day when you will rejoice over God's deliverance. This is a time when you are to be an example of trust to those who come after you. Ask Him to provide needed peace of soul while you wait. Look for prompt response.

Exodus 14:13,14--And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord . . . The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
The command to wait on the Lord with calm assurance is an assignment of faith. The temptation is to rush into action, but God doesn't need us on the sidelines shouting, "Block that kick! Block that kick!" We have to put down our pom-poms and sit down on the feild if we are to see "the deliverance of the Lord."

Moses and Mini Moses!

No stealing please...

2009-01-12T07:51:00.000-08:00

Ok folks, this just cracked me up! Remember I work in a library at a Southern Baptist Seminary. A Seminary! You know, where they train men to become preachers? Apparently some folks forgot that preachers shouldn't steal.

Treasure Trove

2009-01-06T12:00:00.000-08:00

Well, it has been a while since I've updated, but that just means more great beauties at once!!!

I don't really need to comment on this one... Except for maybe to just ask, "What translation is that verse from??"

T his book isn't as telling from the front as it is from within.

But the author is definitely crazy!!

I didn't know you could marry your car!

Or kill yourself...

This board game just makes me sad.

Checkmate...

2008-11-10T15:15:00.000-08:00

Apparently America is the metaphorical king, whereas Islam somehow made it into the bishopric. Poor old Israel is just a lowly pawn...

Watch out for that TV!

2008-11-10T14:59:00.001-08:00

Apparently extended watching of tv will cause you to loose your head. Literally.

War...

2008-11-08T07:35:00.000-08:00

That poor dove!

The Secular Gospel

2008-11-06T21:24:00.000-08:00

This isn't so much funny as it is really confusing, and sad... But its definitely laughable, so I thought I'd put it on here.

Isn't One Wife Enough?

2008-10-06T08:24:00.000-07:00

Great question! Apparently this book seeks to answer it...

I love the fact that it says "In memoriam: Bringham Young." And do polygimist Mormans really sleep like this???

Inside the Tulip Controversy

2008-10-03T09:17:00.000-07:00

This is the first of many installments, I hope, of hilarious books and or pictures I find here around the library at Southeastern Seminary. I hope that you will enjoy these pictures as much as I do.

Tulip vs. Bible
