Psst . . . We’re Giving Away Free Books Again!
As much as I love all of the supplies in your backpack, they aren’t the
most important thing you’ll be toting to school this year. Nope. Your

How God Is Working In The Wake Of Aurora
There has been such a great outpouring of love! It shows that light is more powerful than darkness, that love is stronger than hate, and that He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world.
So You Still Believe In A Merciful God?
We all watched in horror three weeks ago as news reports of an attack by a single gunman in a movie theater poured into our TVs, radio waves, and Twitter feeds.

I’d Like Off This Ride Please!
Mountaintop syndrome is a common condition. It happens when we gorge ourselves on Jesus/the Bible/worship/Christian fellowship once or twice a year and then starve ourselves of those things during the fifty-one weeks between camp experiences.
