Prototype
Micah J. Murray wrote the funnest illustrated book review of Jonathan Martin’s book Prototype, so we just had to feature it here. That’s his photoshopped pic of Jonathan as well, which is pretty much worth the price of admission. Jonathan is a dear friend of ReKnew and he’s a voice worth listening to.
From Micah’s review:
Really, Prototype is like a sermon.
Not a boring, doodle-on-the-bulletin, fall-asleep-in-church sermon. It’s the kind of sermon where it feels like he’s preaching straight to your heart, weaving stories and truth together seamlessly. The kind of sermon where you lose track of time.

A Distinctly Christian Take on the Israel-Palestine Conflict
David Masters via Compfight Here is a great essay, written by a young kingdom revolutionary I’m just getting to know, Jonathan Martin.

My favorite quote: “The…
The Gift of Bearing Witness
Eustaquio Santimano via Compfight Our friend, Jonathan Martin, was featured in She Loves Magazine in a piece he wrote called At Least One Person Waiting.
