An Increase in Reading – “A fifth of American adults have read an electronic version of a book in the last year, a trend that is fueling a renewed love of reading, according to a new survey.

A Passion for the Gospel – I enjoyed reading this quick account of the faith of Bubba Watson, the winner of the Masters Tournament.

    Dumb Will Do: Why Satan Doesn’t Need Heresy
