Summertime, and the reading is easy
The Phantom Tollbooth
July 2011 Press Release

What better than an online magazine to guide your summer culture consumption? On hot, stinky days, enjoy it somewhere cool & shady. On more pleasant days, take it with you on your iPad or netbook to your favorite cool & shady spot. If Jonah had done this under a fast-growing vine while awaiting the destruction of Nineveh, he would've been more understanding of God's mercy. Try it for yourself. Slow down, and be prepared for change.

This month, we feature a review of the historic Daniel Amos tour, a report on a recent spiritual discernment conference, some fascinating books, regular columns, great music, and summer movies galore.

Our writer's picks for the month are:
Daniel Amos - Shotgun Angel - Collector's Edition
Burlap to Cashmere – self-titled
Sam Phillips - Solid State: Songs From the Long Play
