Over the past year, our church has been studying the life of King David. David has always been a fascinating and complex figure. The stories which have been preserved describe him as both a warrior and poet; a Don Corleone godfather and a pious, sweet singer of psalms. At times, he is thoughtful and ...

Its sudden appearance in the mail was timely: I had just been reading about the “protest theism” of writers like Twain and Melville and was preparing for the funeral of one of my uncles. The small ...

When we have drunk our tea, Mum reads to me. I lie on the cot under the army alphabet chart. She reads C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Lucy is in the land where it will never be summer, snow crunches underfoot. The sultry afternoon, pale with light-washing sun and the faint hum of ...

A theme has appeared in conversations of late – the availability of resources worldwide and the kind of living (individually and socially) that maximizes the well-being of all. A few days ago Caleb asked me, “what would happen to Africa if no one did anything to help them?” We discussed basic econom ...

I’ve been using and loving my Victor Reader Stream since late February of last year. I’ve been hooked on it since day one.

Since childhood I’ve been fascinated by stories – be they those of Paul Harvey, which I listened to or read with regularity or those told by my colorful uncles at our family reunions.
