December Delight

Praise Habit:  Finding God in Sunsets and Sushi
By:  David Crowder


I've been wondering about what book I should recommend for December.  As I reflected in the somber twilight of my florescent lit office and aroma candles burning I once again asked myself.

"Self, what book should I recommend this month?"  and self replied back "Well, it is December.  It would be good to recommend something on the birth of Jesus Christ or about His coming."  I thought told self "Yes, that would be good, it would be good to recommend a book that would praise Jesus' coming in human flesh and being born by a Virgin as foretold by the prophets and being born in a manger.  But why just focus on praising Him now?!  We should praise Him all the time!  It should be a habit!"  Then self thought told me "You're right, you should recommend Praise Habit by David Crowder because he takes several of the Psalms and reflects on them and how they direct us to make praising God a habit in all things of life.  It's not a thing we do but more of who we are."  So, I thought said to self "That's a great idea.  I think a lot of people would enjoy reading Praise Habit by David Crowder.  He makes some really great points about Praise being a Habit and not something we do on Sunday mornings.  And the way he wrote it is hilarious, whimsical, and yet brutally honest."  Then self thought replied back to me "yeah, that's what I was thinking.  And, a lot of people know him from his Christian Band with Sixsteps Records called 'The David Crowder *Band'.  He rocks your face off with music that praises God and he writes words that are bound together with pages that praises God too!  It has to be good stuff."  And I thought told self "oh, it is good stuff I've read it before.  Have you read it before?"  and self thought told me "oh, yeah, man, I've read it a couple of times.  It's that good.  And it's good to be reminded about making Praise a Habit in your life and not just an event."  And I thought said to self "Right On!  Right On!"
