3 Books is a completely insane and totally epic 15-year-long quest to uncover the 1000 most formative books in the world. Each chapter is hosted live and in-person at the guest's preferred location by Neil Pasricha, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Awesome and The Happiness Equation. Each chapter of 3 Books uncovers and discusses the three most formative books from one of the world's most inspiring people. Sample guests include: Judy Blume, David Sedaris, Chris Anderson of TED, and the world's greatest Uber driver. Each of the 333 chapters is dropped on the exact minute of every new moon and full moon until September 1, 2031. 3 Books is an Apple "Best Of" award-winning show as well as the world's only podcast by and for book lovers, writers, makers, sellers... and librarians. For more info check out: www.3books.co In this chapter, I walk into a full-blown Indigo bookstore, inside of a hospital and run into my old friend Kevin, who has been working there for 11 years. As we begin talking about his three most formative books, I decide to bring out my iPhone and record the conversation. Chapter Description: I love Kevin Marusic.  He’s a book nerd and bookseller and bookstore manager (and moustache aficionado) who runs the Indigo bookstore in the Mount Sinai hospital in downtown Toronto.  Whenever I talk to Kevin our conversation rolls like a river so this time (this time!) I pulled out my cell phone after I walked in and recorded the very first guerrilla style chapter of 3 Books!  No prep, no research, no notes, no books read in advance. In Chapter 44 of 3 Books, join me inside the Indigo Books in Mount Sinai hospital as we discuss how to learn to look at worlds beyond our own, what order you should watch the Star Wars movies in and why, what the dangers are of the ‘pants computer’, why you should separate your phone into tool and toy, why books are magic (new 3 Books value!), and, of course, the incredible Kevin Marusic’s three most formative books.  There are so many nerdy tic-tacs buried in this chat that I am not coming anywhere close to doing Kevin justice. Trust me. He is a gem! He is a lover. He has a wonderful heart. And I am so delighted to share his incredible wisdom with all of you. The world will be a better place if we can all be a bit more like Kevin.  Let’s go! What You'll Learn: What is the other definition of USSR? Why is it important to lose yourself in art or in stories? Why should a conversation flow like a river? Who did JRR Tolkien go to school with to help inspire Lord of the Rings? Why are booksellers and librarians ‘doctors of the mind’? How can living with less give us more? What are the dangers of the ‘pants computer’? You can find show notes and more information by clicking here: https://www.3books.co/chapters/44

Why is it that so much Christian media is -- lame? From movies to video games (not so much with music anymore), anything within the Christian marketing genre is stereotypically bad. There are some bright spots, sure, but what happened to creative works, by Christians, like Lord of the Rings? Why don't we have more "playable parables"? This week on the podcast we discuss this further, mostly with the focus on video games, as we think back to the ol' Wisdom Tree games and argue that there are many games that have some beautiful things to say (Bastion was one of our examples). Talk to us on @ChurchMag using #cmagcast, send us an email at podcast@churchm.ag, or submit your thoughts here -- you can even send us a voice or video message that we'll share on the podcast. Let's talk!

Warning: This episode contains spoilers, and assumes that you’ve seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Only listen if you’ve seen the movie. To ignore this warning is a path to the Dark Side. Episode VII We Have Seen. Much to Discuss There Is. Peter joins me on this episode of the Stimulated Boredom podcast, as we lovingly discuss and review Star Wars: The Force Awakens! Episode VII is finally here, as we talk about our impressions of the film, and engage in rampant speculation over the unanswered questions that many of you undoubtedly have, including: Who are Rey’s parents? What is Rey’s background, and who is she waiting for on Jakku? Why does Luke’s lightsaber call to Rey? What the hell is up with Supreme Leader Snoke, and why did Star Wars do a crossover with The Lord of the Rings? Why did Ben Solo turn to the Dark Side, and will he ever resolve his grandfather issues? How did Maz Kanata get hold of Luke’s lightsaber, and will she ever get Lasik eye surgery? How many times did the movie make us cry? Why is Kylo Ren so strong with the Force, but not so much when it comes to fighting with a glow stick? And SO much more! We’d also like to hear from you, including what you thought of The Force Awakens, along with any questions, comments or theories that you might have. Feel free to leave your comments below or email the show, and we’ll do a Star Wars follow up episode in which we include your feedback and impressions of the movie. Sit back and enjoy, as two fans wax poetic about a galaxy far, far away! #TheForceAwakensInOurPants
