My gratitude goes to Moody Publishers for sponsoring the blog this week to tell you about a new book by Steve DeWitt titled Loneliness. It’s one you may want to check out!

Don’t Regret Your Past—Redeem It

Though we do many regrettable things, we do not need to live our lives in regret. God has something better for us to do, as Curtis Solomon explains here.

    Is This Really a Good Idea?

    Would it be okay if we engage our imaginations a little bit today? Though it’s not the standard fare of this site, how about we try it and see how it goes?
