Through his more than 50 books and hundreds of sermons, and through hi…

Several weeks ago I finished reading Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy by Eric Metaxas. My short review would be that this goes on the top shelf as the best book I’ve read this year. Two things struck me and stayed with me after I finished the book. First, Bonhoeffer saw much earlier than many others the evil that was in Adolph Hitler….

There is nothing new under the sun. So said the writer of Ecclesiastes 3000 years ago.

On May 27, 1943 the plane carrying famed runner and former Olympian Louie Zamperini crashed while on a rescue mission over the Pacific Ocean. Of the 11 men on board, only three survive the crash. Clambering aboard a woefully inadequate life raft, they float aimlessly westward, drifting toward islands occupied by Japanese troops. One of the men eve…

A few weeks ago I received a nice email from Heather Duff who serves as the chaplain for the 298th CSSB, a combat support battalion soon to be deployed to Afghanistan. She heard through my brother Alan that we donate books to the military. Over the years we have sent thousands of copies of An Anchor for the Soul to members of the Armed Forces servi…
