This morning we interviewed Scott Hamilton, the gold medal winning skater, for almost an hour. Recently he’s written a fine new book called The Great Eight, subtitled “How to Be Happy (even when you have every reason to be miserable).” We talked at length about how he got into figure skating, his two battles with cancer, and his r…

It’s the story of two children who visit their Appalachian grandparents, along the way learning about the value of being rooted in a particular place. The book is beautifully illustrated with watercolor illustrations by Miriam Moyer. If you …

Last year Broadman and Holman published an updated edition of Leadership Lessons of Jesus that I co-wrote with Bob Briner. The publisher took the two smaller volumes that appeared in 1997 and 1998 and reissued them in a slightly revised fashion last year.

This is the best book I’ve read in quite a while. I finished it during our trip to Mount Hermon, in fact I stayed up late on Friday night to get to the end. It touches on so many issues that it’s hard to list them all. At its heart the book is about three people—a rich white couple who meet and befriend a homeless black man who gr…

During a few free moments on Thanksgiving Day, I read most of Quiet Strength by Tony Dungy, head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. If you are a football fan, you will certainly enjoy this book.

I received a nice note from some new friends we met at Cannon Beach this week. After I gave a message based on Philippians 1:9-11 on how to pray for your grandchildren, I challenged the hearers (it was a retirees conference) to pray this prayer for their children and grandchildren. My friends from Bellingham, Washington decided to take that to hear…

Earlier today we posted a brand-new podcast called Asymmetric Spiritual Warfare. It seems appropriate that this podcast should come on 9/11 because the treacherous attack that occurred seven years ago is the classic modern example of asymmetric warfare. Although the War on Terror didn’t start that day, our understanding of it changed forever …
