Last updated on: October 17, 2013 at 2:54 pm By Elizabeth Nordquist

2,182 Comments

I welcomed Fred Schmidt’s new book, The Dave Test, into my library, but more importantly into my inner heart, because I found it to be a book that spoke the truth about life and death, even the small lives and deaths in between our birth date and date of death. Schmidt writes out of deep personal pain, but also out of deep conviction born of wrestling with the Holy One, prompted by the crucible of the grave illness and death... Read more

When it comes to raising our children in the faith, many of us tend to “out-source” our children’s spirituality to the Church. Those religious educators know better than us anyway, and really, there’s just not enough hours in the day to take on one more program. Plus, faith education belongs “over there,” in the religious ed classrooms on Sunday mornings, right? Tim and Sue Muldoon would have us think again. In their new book, Six Sacred Rules for Families: A Spirituality... Read more

A “Better” Book Review

Last updated on: October 4, 2013 at 2:17 pm By David Swartz

It’s this thing about favorite foods. If I say I love something, someone else will hate it so much they’d rather eat a bug (quite tasty in many cultures and high in protein). If I hate it, someone will think me a neo-Nazi for trashing their food.
