4 Ways to Reach a Child’s Heart – “Not just any fatherly involvement can reach the hearts of our children.” Rick Phillips describes the kind that can.

Children of the Moon – This is fascinating: “Albinos make up between 5 and 10 percent of the roughly 80,000 indigenous Gunas who live on the mainland of the Guna Yala region and its islands.”

A great company of saints witnesses to the fact that we can indeed flourish without romance, marriage, or children.

—Wesley Hill
