How We Can Face the Hardest Things in Life
January 17th, 2018 transformed our lives. It was the day I (Patrick) heard the word cancer. “Would you spell that for me?” I asked the nurse over the phone. My head was already spinning. Heart pounding. I scribbled a word that I had, until now, never heard before onto the only scrap piece of paper… The post How We Can Face the Hardest Things in Life appeared first on FaithGateway.

The Maturity Question
What is the wise thing to do? What is the wise thing for me to do? We’ve never met, but here’s something I know about you. Your greatest regret… And I’m talking about that moment of regret.

Your Good Father
The woman, sitting with me at the conference table, did an extraordinary thing… It all started with my saying, “I love your bible.” On the spine, I noticed the words “Amplified version” printed. I love the Amplified Version. It gives rich context to the original Hebrew and Greek words in the Word. I admired her treasure. Yet, what this woman didn’t know was my hunt in the last year to find, not just an “Amplified Version” bible, but a “Classic Amplified” version bible. “Classic Amplified” bibles are out-of-print and not so easily found. I’ve looked here and there online, without much success. I’ve thought about how I want this translation on multiple…

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle (Book Club Edition)
Good books are even better when people discuss them. In fact, we label books “discussion starters” when they offer much food for thought. A Wrinkle in Time is one such book. Unfortunately, kids often read this book at far too young an age and think they don’t like it. Even if your child reads at an “advanced reading level,” he or she is probably not going to “get” this book until around age 12 or even older. Don’t despair if you tried to read this book aloud to a 4th grader; just hand the book over as a book club pick once a few years have passed. Note: We’ve covered…
