Remember Abbie Hoffman’s "Steal This Book"? I know I’m letting the cat out of the bag regarding my age. This was a book about the counter-culture of the 60′s and how to scam your way through life at other’s expense. I actually owned a copy at one time, along with my "Whole Earth Catalog".

So now I find in my latest flyer from Lifeway (the SBC’s publishing house) this lovely new book for Praise and Worship.

Ever wonder why the P&W teams show words on the jumbo-tron but no music? Well, they wouldn’t be able to "improvise" (aka "fake") their way through and we certainly wouldn’t want to impinge on their artistic expression or human potentiality.
