I just finished reading "The story of God and Guinness: How the faith of Arthur Guinness inspired the vision for his famous beer".
I knew that Guinness beer has been around for ages and ages, but I didn't know much about the Guinnesses themselves. This article details the relationship between the Guinnesses' faith and their work practices, which are inspiring.
i had a professor in college that was visiting from ireland. he was a stats prof and almost every example he gave us included a pint a guinness. it didn't always fit into the eventual equation, but it was always part of the story.
You should read The Call by Os Guinness. I read it in college.
ReplyDeleteI never put two and two together. So he's part of the Guinness beer family?
ReplyDeleteYes he is.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fantastic article. Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteP/s edit: Every time, I drink Guinness, I'm going to remember the story and the message.
all the more reason to drink guinness now, eh?
