The Faithful Artist: an Interview with John Hendrix
John Hendrix grew up in St. Louis, left home to advance his art career, and eventually returned. Along the way he spent some time as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer for the New York Times, but returning home also gave him a chance to expand his first love into his current niche as an illustrator. His books have popped up on our radar several times, most notably with the recent, much-awarded The Faithful Spy: Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Plot to Kill Hitler. Earlier, we gave Miracle Man: the Story of Jesus a starred review. At the time it seemed very unusual for a secular publisher to include an unabashedly Christian…

The shortest verse in the Bible
The Shortest Verse in the Bible and the Lessons we can learn from it. “Jesus wept.” – John 11:35 Even with only two words, the shortest Bible verse in most translations is amazingly profound. John 11 tells the story of how Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. This is even after the dead man being in the tomb for four days already. Like Lazarus’ sisters, Martha and Mary, you may be wondering why Jesus had to wait for Lazarus’ death before visiting them. “Why did Jesus not heal Lazarus when he was only sick then weep on his death?” you may ask. Through this event, however, God is actually teaching…

Meredith Andrews: Finding Her Identity in God’s Calling
by Matt Conner There was a season in which Meredith Andrews would have been a bit more anxious than she is now. On the verge of the release of her latest album Faith & Wonder (Word), Andrews is calm and collected, a state of mind and spirit she attributes not so much to experience as she does her spiritual identity. She’s learned some things over the years about where to find her calling, her value, her well-being, and it serves her well as she prepares for another album cycle. “My identity isn’t in how people react or respond to what I create or release,” says Andrews. “I have to honor…

Small Act of Love, Big Impact
I had never seen such mayhem. I was bumping into people, getting stuck between abandoned grocery carts and making Twister-like moves to reach to simply grab the Arugula. Phew. I did it. I completed my grocery shopping. Or, so I thought. . . Then, I saw the lines. I’d never seen a grocery store so packed. In fact, it seemed I couldn’t even make it up to the cash register. People-after-people, cart-after-cart passed by me, blocking my way. Plus, the lines were so long, there was nowhere to go. No one even noticed that I also needed to pass by and to make it into a line. In these kinds…
