Top Shelf: Still waiting for the masterpiece (Review)
Peretti: What’s the story?
Review
Walking out of the lounge room on Wednesday nights last year, I always performed a ritual of huge significance: the issuing of instructions to record the latest escapades of Mulder and Scully as they probe the unknown in The X-Files. As for many Australians, this show, with its extra-terrestrials, UFOs, supernatural occurrences, stories of the mysterious, the psychic and the bizarre has become required watching for me. Even though I have no time for the conspiracy theories and stories portrayed and implied, I’m addicted. There is something about this genre which captivates me.

Disciplines of a Godly Man.
R. Kent Hughes.
Wheaton: Crossway Books, 1991.
Some people collect commentaries, some people collect Christian biographies, some collect rare Bible editions. I collect books on men and men’s ministry. The reason may be quite primal and subconscious: it may be that I am searching for identity, confused in the switch from baby-boomer society to post-feminism. Maybe it’s a reaction to the kind of feminists who are throwing stones at Helen Garner. Or it maybe I’m still searching for a ‘real man’s’ Christian book.
