Ecological Catastrophe – Russell Moore writes about the BP oil disaster in an article titled “Ecological Catastrophe and the Uneasy Evangelical Conscience.”

Maps that Changed the World – “From the USSR’s Be On Guard! map in 1921 to Google Earth, a new exhibition at the British Library charts the extraordinary documents that transformed the way we view the globe forever.”

Paul Johnson on Winston Churchill – In his new biography of Churchill, Paul Johnson proposes five take-aways from the British leader’s life. Ray Ortlund summarizes them. Love him or hate him, you’ve got to know that Churchill lived a life we can all learn from.

Life – I’ve been waiting for a long time for David Attenborough’s Life to release.

  • Good News Rock Bottom

    Good News at Rock Bottom

    Life most certainly brings its challenges. Some of these are just little ruts along the way, some are deep and dark valleys, and some are lower still—the kind of rock bottom experiences that are so dreadful we wonder if we will be able to endure them with our faith intact.
