The Letters in Red looks directly at the recorded words of Jesus. Looking at the four canonical Gospels, you’ll review the earthly ministry of Jesus and find the way a Christian should live according to Christ. If you’re a Christian who wants to learn Jesus’...

Into Williams's childhood home-a one-story ranch house-his father crammed more books than the local library could hold. "Pappy" used some of these volumes to run an academic prep service; the rest he used in his unending pursuit of wisdom. His son's pursuits were quite different: "money, hoes, and clothes."

A reckoning with the way we choose to see and define ourselves, Self-Portrait in Black and White is the searching story of one American family's multigenerational transformation from what is called Black to what is assumed to be White. Thomas Chatterton Williams, the son of a "Black" father from the segregated South and a "White" mother from the West, spent his whole life believing the dictum that a single drop of "Black blood" makes a person Black. This was so fundamental to his self-conception that he'd never rigorously reflected on its foundations....

There's a saying in Brooklyn that if you come from my part of town, you're from around the way. Well Lyric, Juicy, and Precious are all from around the way. They all live in Crown Heights, one of the most notorious sections of Brooklyn, but to them it's just a place they call home. Around the Way Girls 2 is a fast-paced look at the life of some street-smart women who think they know it all but are about to get the lessons of their lives.

Today we tend to separate questions of logic from questions of belief, philosophy from religion, reason from faith. But for 1,000 years during a pivotal era of Western thought, reason and faith went hand-in-hand in the search for answers to the most profound issues investigated by Christianity's most committed scholars.

Just days before Chad Williams was scheduled to report for basic training at the Great Lakes naval base, he turned on the television and was greeted with the horrifying image of his mentor and training partner, US Navy SEAL Scott Helvenston, being brutally murdered in a premeditated ambush on the streets of Fallujah, Iraq. Steeled in his resolve, Chad committed himself to completing the US military’s most difficult training to become a Navy SEAL - and avenge his friend’s death.

Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109) was the outstanding philosopher-theologian of the Latin West between Augustine and the thirteenth century. As a public figure, especially as Archbishop of Canterbury, he corresponded with kings and nobles, popes and bishops, in letters that reveal a fascinating personality and flesh out the practical dimensions of his theoretical philosophy. He wrote at a time when a renewed interest in logic encouraged careful and rigorous argumentation, but before the recovery of Aristotle filled the philosophical discourse.

A religion can be very complex, can’t it? One religion has millions of gods, another has thousands of canonized saints, and a religion may have a plethora of doctrines, dogmas, creeds, and rules to live by. I was a Protestant Christian who, over five decades, tried several of the thousands of denominations available, but never found one that fulfilled my spiritual needs. After exploring a few other religions, I eventually tried Spiritualism even though Christianity had misled me with its teachings against it. In Spiritualism, I found a simple religion, one accepting of all people, one ...

What does it mean to dig deep? Digging deep refers to your ability to look inside yourself, see your potential, and use all you have to reach your goals, live out your values, and overcome obstacles. It refers to your resiliency or ability to bounce back after setbacks. Digging deep requires a growth mindset and a willingness to get uncomfortable to change and improve. Goals, big or small, aren’t easy to reach. They take effort, determination, and persistence. Unfortunately, most of us have many dreams that go unreached.

I was told it is demonic and not to mess with it. It is Satan worship, they said. There are witches calling themselves mediums who communicate with evil spirits posing as our deceased loved ones. The Bible clearly teaches against Spiritualism I was told. If I get involved, even if I just attend one service at a Spiritualist church, I risk becoming possessed by a demon, my soul will be in jeopardy of being cast into Hell for all eternity when I die, I was warned. Whatever “Spiritualism” they were talking about I haven’t found. The Spiritualism I have come to know is a Godly religion of...
