No Snickering, No Mockery and No Contempt - Well, Maybe a Little Bit
The talk show segment was entitled "No Stupid Questions" and was designed to encourage listeners to pose their unanswered questions about life. As the hosts introduced the topic they reminded everyone there would be no snickering, no mockery and no contempt as people asked their questions and other people answered.

Telling Stories
By Jim Stovall
I have written a dozen books. The first six were biographical or "how to" success-oriented books. The next six were novels. In the process of doing promotional interviews for my first novel, The Ultimate Gift, and the subsequent movie, and now as I am doing interviews on my latest novel The King's Legacy, I have been asked: Why tell stories instead of just sharing the principles behind the message?

Dad passed away in 1999, but his words liv...

Rethinking Christian Literature
Ask your neighbors for an off-the-cuff reaction to the words "Christian literature" and you're likely to hear them stumble through a list of belittling adjectives. Despite the swelling ranks of able Christian writers, the reaction demonstrates that we're viewed as an inconsequential presence in the world of literature. This image belies reality-in fact, Christians are heirs to the tradition of Cha...

Nothing New Under the Sun: The Link between Native Spirituality and the Occult by Jenn Doucette
"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." - King Solomon (Ecclesiastes 1:9, NIV)
Not surprisingly, King Solomon had it right; there really is nothing new under the sun. Translated in modern-day lingo: been there done that. And while this applies to pleasure, love, marriage, death, recreation, and possessions, there is serious imp...Jul 14,2009, 4:26PM
BAN CUTESIFYING
We need to stop cutesifying Bible stories and teach our kids the all-empowering sovereignty of God and how that sovereignty is relevant to their lives. (Yes, I know that cutesifying isn't a word, but you get what I'm saying.)

A Lie That Makes Us Realize the Truth
I read novels with pencil in hand, ready to underline a sentence that's beautiful, a metaphor that's especially scenic, or any phrase that prompts an appreciative smile. Here, from page eighty-three of The Time of Our Singing by Richard Powers, are three examples:
