"Well, John," said the ministers wife, coming suddenly into the study a few minutes after the postman had left the parsonage, "What does William write? I saw his letter. Please read it to me." The Miracle at Markham was written during the summer of 1808, and read the following fall and winter by the author to his Sunday evening congregation in the Central Church, Topeka, Kansas.

The Quarrel of Sword and Bone was a death sentence for anyone who stepped into the arena with the deranged Queen, whose soul had crisped to frost in an age long since past.

She thought these brutal experiences made her ready for anything.

God is a covenant making, covenant keeping God. From the dawn of prehistory, God’s dealings with mankind can be understood through the lens of covenant: A binding agreement of unending loyalty and faithfulness. His early covenants with mankind were one-sided, requiring very little from men in return. All of that changed with the birth of the nation of Israel, and her deliverance from slavery in Egypt through Moses. The Mosaic covenant, also known throughout the Bible as “the law”, encompassed the rest of the Old Testament books through the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Das biblische Gleichnis vom verlorenen Sohn (Lukas 15, 11-32) ist einer der populärsten Texte des Neuen Testaments. In neueren Übersetzungen wird es auch als "Gleichnis von den beiden Söhnen" bzw.

Der in die Welt gezogene und reumütig zurückgekehrte Sohn ist halt ein Sünder, der sich zu schämen hat. Was aber war wohl eigentlich seine Motivation, das Vaterhaus zu verlassen? Und was mag die Mutter gedacht, empfunden haben, von der im Gleichnis gar keine Rede ist?
