How Autism Can Land You a Job – WSJ reports that some employers increasingly are viewing autism as an asset and not a deficiency in the workplace.

Cruciform’s Easter Sale – Cruciform Press has two short, inspiring books that can help you meditate on the glorious salvation secured by our resurrected Savior.
