5 Books to get Mom for Mother’s Day – Here are five books you may like to consider getting mom (or wife) for Mother’s Day: One (if she likes being challenged–see the other titles in this series as well), two (if she’s a note-taker), three (if she likes biographies), four (if she’s into self-examination) and five (if she’s meant to mentor).

Healing – Ali has a story to tell from her work and ministry on a hospital ship.

Miss Whitebread Was Wrong – Andy Unedited: “‘Always make an outline before you start writing.’ Isn’t that what your fifth grade teacher told you? Well, I’m sorry to break this to you, but Miss Whitebread was wrong. In my continuing series of Stupid Things You Were Taught in School let me deconstruct this bad boy.”

  • The Hard Work Is Done—Family Bible Study Is Fun

    We plant the seeds of the gospel through rich, Christ-centered family worship. We water them with our prayers. But only God can cause those seeds to grow—and isn’t it a relief that this part is not up to us? God calls us to faithfully pass on the gospel to our kids and reserves the saving…

  • Knife to a Gunfight

    Go Ahead, Bring a Knife to a Gunfight

    They say you should never bring a knife to a gunfight. It’s a colorful little proverb that emphasizes the value of proper preparation, yet I’m not sure it’s a proverb God cares much for.
