Do you sometimes wish your church had more people coming? We all wince when we see large gaps, empty pews, bare places. It’s especially painful when someone precious slips out a side door and into the shadows of indifference or isolation. We want to cry out: NO!! Don’t leave us! What can we do to change your minds? Come back! There are many issues to weigh and hard realities to consider. This booklet offers just one: “Try Kindness.” Believers can debate about doctrinal discord and unkempt parking lots and the repetitive thump of today’s praise tunes.

There is more in our world than you know. Deep in the darkness of a government building, one man needs to find the perfect solution to a vampire’s request that the government satisfy the debt of honor owed him. If he falls short, the failure will be paid in the blood of the military. He needs three uniquely qualified individuals. He can find only one. One woman, dying, might be the ace-in-the-hole he needs to appease the Vampire. But then, she might also be the one person needed to save humanity. If she is accepted, will she willingly change?

It’s sure a fun place to be a kid! There’s swim parties and Sunday afternoons at the park and crazy rides on tuk tuks and weekend excursions to exotic Phuket Island. And oh yeah, did we mention the world’s sweetest pineapple? But the best part of life in Thailand is that Gage and Jaidee and Maddy and all their pals are part of Bangkok Christian School. The teachers are great, Mr. Noah does rockin’ chapel programs, and there’s a ton of kids flowing through the place who haven’t yet heard how Jesus can be their best friend.

Social media sites are suddenly flooded with nostalgic photos of a freckled kid named Alfalfa and his chubby partner in mayhem, Spanky McFarland. Often in the same frame is one of Hollywood’s cutest femme fatales: Darla Hood. Rounding out the “Our Gang” quartet of pint-sized superstars is the brilliant Buckwheat and his drooping Afro.

How do we cope when faith threatens to slip away? The most durable of Christian heroes often succumb to the numb specter of doubt. "Are the things I once believed still true?" Pillars like John the Baptist, Mother Teresa, and Billy Graham have confessed that there were times in their walk with God where atheism and an empty universe seemed increasingly probable scenarios. The author refers to a recent media exchange between liberal provocateur Bill Maher and the late Charlie Kirk. Both men confessed that their chosen life philosophy brought unanswerable questions, chasms of logic.

She’s embarrassed but grateful by her brother Khemkaeng’s graduation gift: the offer of a gig at Bangkok Christian School.

Steven Spielberg's wonderfully inventive Back to the Future came out in 1985, but just about everybody has seen Marty McFly rev the DeLorean up to 88 mph and jet his way back to Mill Valley High where his mom and dad need his help in order to fall in love.

Measure for Measure is one of darkest of Shakespeare’s comedies. Written in about 1603 and first performed in 1604, it immediately preceded the composition of the major tragedies Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth. Duke Vincentino, the ruler of Vienna, fears that under his mild sovereignty, the...

I have many dear friends whose youthful experience in the church was fraught with anxiety over “I’ll never be good enough” and the warning that nineteen out of twenty kids are doomed to stay forever out of heaven. Okay, you too? On the cusp of college graduation and my new gig as a teacher in an Adventist school, two rescuing lifeboats floated my way. I began reading stuff by C. S. Lewis and also a pastor named Morris Venden – ironically my mom’s cousin!

Now she’s got to teach English, start up a high school choir, launch the newsletter, be a substitute preacher when a bus breaks down, dispense dating advice to teenage girls, and fret about the growing reality that one of the Thai teachers might be falling in love with her.
