Zamperini’s Greatest Victory – “Zamperini saw his conversion as the hinge for all that went before it, and all that followed in his long life. He wanted as many other people as possible to hear about salvation through Christ through his own story: ‘That’s the message of the book’.”

I Could Have Sued and Won – Tara Barthel writes about having to put her own teaching into action.

When We Best Learn the Bible – This is good stuff: “Sound Bible study is rooted in a celebration of delayed gratification.

Spurgeon

—C.H. Spurgeon
