Book Review: Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman
Jesus had many fans, but not many true followers. There were thousands that followed Jesus around looking for the next big thing –the next miracle or cool handout.

Book Review: Tea With Hezbollah by Ted Dekker and Carl Medearis
Tea With Hezbollah, by Ted Dekker and Carl Medearis, was a book (non-fiction)that stretched me to the limits.

They traveled through the Middle East interviewing Muslim leaders from Hezbollah, Hamas and others, asking hard questions … Continue reading

She must face her ex-husband, Hunt, with little hope of making amends, and try to rebuild a relationship with her angry teenage daughter, Meagan. … Continue reading

Book Review: Wisdom Hunter by Randall Arthur
I’ve seen legalism in churches. I’ve seen people so caught up in the little, trivial things that they can’t see how it is affecting them and those around them. I know of a lady who wouldn’t sing worship songs because they were on the “wall” and not being read out of a hymnal. I’m not … Continue reading
