Living with Questions in 4th printing
June 28th, 2008 by Dale Fincher
Just a little news update that I received the first copy of the fourth printing of Living with Questions last week. Keep spreading the word. This book isn’t just good for teens and college students (though that is the intended audience). It is also good for adults, especially those who 1) are new to apologetics [...]

Pagans, Wall•E, Religion & Atheism, gender…
June 25th, 2008 by Dale Fincher
When I have time to blog about these individually, they may be older news… so a few brief comments on some links to check out. C. S. Lewis said that if monotheism wasn’t true, he thinks the best explanation of the world is some sort of paganism. The universe so filled with wonder, the ancients [...]

Human Monologues
June 3rd, 2008 by Dale Fincher
Anna Deavere Smith has interviewed a couple thousand people and then turns some of them into monologues. This is a proper example of using theatre to create awareness. No propaganda here.

God designed the soul of a MAN for adventure?
June 1st, 2008 by Dale Fincher
My wife received an advanced review copy of Rich Wagner’s new book, The Expeditionary Man: The Adventure a Man Wants, the Leader His Family Needs. There are some helpful insights in this book that is broader than the typical “new masculinity” resources available. Yet still packaged and assuming too much about males–and this is partly [...]
