Question Which Tim Russert book?
I'm undecided on which Tim Russert book I should buy: Big Russ and Me or Wisdom of our Fathers

Best Answer I would read "Big Russ and Me" first because it talks about his relationship with his father. "Wisdom of our Fathers" is a continuation of BRAM and is a compilation of letters he received from other people and their fathers. RIP. A True loss

Question Politics -- Tim Russert's book?
Tim Russert's book - Big Russ and Me. I haven't read the book but is there any mention as to where his mama is now? Funny but Obama and Russert say little about their mamas. Tim talked a lot about his daddy, but what about mommy???

Best Answer Tim Russert's mother died a couple of years ago.

Question Max Lucado?
What is your favorite Max Lucado book that you have read?

Best Answer For some reason this question has brought tears to my eyes. I have been very touched within by his books. I remember reading the what others have said. I guess the crippled lamb was one of my favorites also. It is probably because I feel like this little lamb even today. Please pray that my broken heart will be mended.

Question What does algorithm mean in the book by Max Lucado called 3:16 The Numbers of Hope?
When my mom was reading the book she came upon a word she didn't recognize. The sentence went as followed " Jesus makes no mention of Nicodemus's VIP status, good intentions, or academic credentials, not because they don't exist, but because, in Jesus's algorithm, they don't matter." What does the word algorithm mean in this context?

Best Answer Algorithm is a word from computer science, it basically it a usually complex set of rules that govern how some program behaves, or arrives at an output, so in this sentence, consider it like a viewpoint or process of arriving at a decision. So from the context we can say that the character of Jesus simply doesn't consider Nicodemus' status, intentions or credentialing important. In this context, Jesus whether viewed as the historical person or some other character so named, may not know or care about things Nicodemus' considers important. But it sounds like the author was trying a bit too hard to be technical, or the subject of the area of the book has to do with computer science or something. Nicodemus as a reference - was the name of a biblical figure who tried very hard to understand some of Jesus' teachings and specifically the notion of the nature of heavenly and earthly things. Alleged to have been the same Nicodemus ben Gurion character in both the Old and New Testaments.
