Book Review: The Kingdom, The Power, and The Glory by Tim Alberta
I found myself earlier this year in the midst of a study involving Bonhoeffer’s Discipleship, the Book of Revelation, and White Christian Nationalism. It’s a weird intersection, but I was deep into some notes and rewriting those notes when this book came along. I would like to say I’m off the hook with my project. I fear I am not…

Book Review — The Very Good Gospel
The Very Good Gospel: How Everything Wrong Can Be Made Right by Lisa Sharon Harper My rating: 5 of 5 stars Lisa Sharon Harper has one of the best calls to “SHALOM” I’ve read in quite some time.

One of my heroes in the faith is Calvin Olson. Calvin was a missionary to southern Asia for many years. When I knew him he was retired as a missionary and traveled throughout our state with our district superintendent to conduct monthly prayer and fasting days. Every fall prayer retreat before he passed away, you could find Calvin Olson there.…
