Personally, I think Charles Swindoll did himself a disservice by positioning his book, The Grace Awakening, as a manifesto for a movement. The subject matter of this book is not about a movement; it’s about truth. Swindoll performs an invaluable serv ...more | |

I’m a fan of this series of historical mysteries, this one set just before Theodore Roosevelt becomes Governor of New York. Murder on St. Nicholas Avenue was designed to fit several spaces. Victoria Thompson’s publisher wanted a Christmas book. Check ...more | |

One of my very minor criticisms of earlier books in the Ian Rutledge Mystery series has been that Rutledge doesn’t seem to be as proactive as one would expect in solving the mysteries. Oh, he investigates and he is successful (though not always “perf ...more | |

Maybe there is something to be said for reading the novels in a mystery series out of order. My brother sent me both Drover and Drover and the Zebras, but somehow I bypassed the slicker cover of the first novel and took the second with me on a trip t ...more | |

Fortunately, theologian Michael F. Bird is not afraid to be lighthearted in presenting gospel truth. For example” “To use a meteorological pun, to be a follower of Jesus means to walk in the “reign” of Jesus. It entails that believers order their liv ...more | |
