One of my lifelong loves has been reading great books. I lament the decrease in the number of Christians who are avid readers.

Since writing my novel Safely Home, which is set in China and involves religious persecution, I’ve received innumerable confirmations of the persecution of Chinese Christians.   

There could have been no atonement without the incarnation. “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).
