A Strategy for Sharing Gospel Literature

Our EPM office recently received this note, and I think it inadvertently suggests a strategy for reaching people with the gospel.

Justine’s story: “You will always regret an abortion”

I don’t know how many stories like this I’ve heard over the years, but I don’t think we can be too often reminded of what abortion does to women.

Part 2 of my interview with Time Magazine about the Courageous Movie and Novel

Every novelist knows that movies don’t just have plots, they have themes. And in the exploration of those themes there is inevitably a message, whether or not it is carefully crafted.

When I was researching Heaven, I read 150 volumes on the subject, many long out-of-print. Since the book came out I’ve read a dozen more.

Worthy to Suffer

The Eternal Impact of an 8th Grader’s Kindness

By Kathy Norquist, Randy's executive assistant

Terry Harris gave me permission to share her story about Randy and I’m doing so, without his knowledge or permission . :) I share it not just to give recognition to Randy, but as a reminder to us all that showing kindness to others can make a significant eternal difference in more than one person’s life.

Are Spiritual Disciplines Legalism?

When it comes to spiritual disciplines, some people think being committed to them is a matter of legalism. A couple of years ago, I led a group of young guys through a study of Renovation of the Heart by Dallas Willard, in which he emphasized the spiritual disciplines
