“Now and at the Hour of Our Death” on Audio!

I’m excited to announce that “Now and at the Hour of Our Death” is now available on audio format at Amazon, Audible, and iTunes! We were grateful to have the very talented Mim Drew narrate the book.

Paradoxes and the Purpose of Lent

I know paradoxes are compelling and provocative and mystical and all that good stuff, but I’m not a big fan.

Why Would Anyone Ever Get a Dog?

She got the call while we were out Christmas shopping. It was the some of the worst news she had ever received: while staying at an animal boarding house, her little four-pound Yorkie, Mico, was attacked by a much bigger dog and was killed.

He makes some controversial statements, however, about the […]

Borat Eeez Good … But Not So Good
