FaceApp
Get it on your phone, take some selfies with friends, and run them through the filter. You will laugh so hard! Here are my husband's results - normal, woman, 30 years older, and with a smile pasted on. The old Michael kills me! So so so weird.

Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes by Kenneth Bailey
The author has lived in the Middle East almost all his life. He takes well-known stories from the four gospel accounts of Jesus' life, teachings, and miracles and explains them through Middle Eastern culture/worldview.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to do a deeper study of the gospels with culture at the forefront.
