David Dark: The Sacredness of Questioning Everything

A few years ago I was recommended a book by an author I had never heard of. But having trusted my friend (Thomas Bridges) I purchased "Everyday Apocalypse" by David Dark. The book proved to be an imaginative, informative, and serious look at ways in which 'apocalyptic' works its way into the present liberating us from our often times sincere yet misguided intentions. Dark does this through the medium of pop-culture: Flannery O'Connor, the Simpsons, Radiohead, and Beck. Here is a quote from this book. "If we're incapable of recognizing the subversive, satiric insight of something like "The Simpsons," our ability to apply ourselves to the joys of interpretation, or to view art well at all, has proven itself deficient."

While at Vanderbilt Divinity School, I was able to take a class with David Dark. (He's a PhD student in Religious studies). His third book was released through Zondervan last week. "The Sacredness of Questioning Everything" should be a good a read and I'm looking forward to spending some time with it over the summer. I was able to talk with Dark yesterday and was given a free audio copy of the book which is available to everyone who wishes to download it through zondervan. I was told to share it with anyone I knew, and was given permission to post it on my blog. So, free audio book of David's new book:
