Our Culture of Reading – If you are a reader you will enjoy Matthew Lee Anderson’s thoughts on our culture of reading and the end of dialogue.

Don’t Underestimate the Power of Friendship – This is an interesting one from USA Today: “We tend to take friendship for granted, to make it secondary to other demands on our time.”

Everything a Child Should Know about God – Westminster Books has this one back in stock after it sold out last time.

    Why You Should Just Be Honest With God

    It is no great feat to convince another person of a lie. Because other people cannot see our inner selves, they are easily deceived.
