God’s Heartbeat by Dave Wile
This is a true story. It happened to me just recently when I was doing
my one day Rim 2 Rim hike of the Grand Canyon. It was approaching
evening and it was rapidly getting dark. While I always carry a
headlight/flashlight just in case I’m out on a trail longer than
expected, this time, I took it out of my pack to save a little weight.

Voices in Culture: Amy Courts by Mariah Secrest
Amy Courts is one of those musicians whose songs you can put on repeat,
and hours later still be enjoying the tunes like you were playing them
for the first time. After doing just that, I found myself intrigued by
the depth that ebbed just below the current of solid progressive rock.

Book Review: Keeping Holiday by Jody MathesonLike many of our readers, C.S. Lewis’ Narnia chronicles have a special
place in our hearts. I think this is because we know who Lewis was, and
what he stood for, and we knew that he wasn’t going to lead us astray
with his timeless tales of fantasy set amidst the morals of good and
evil.

Love in the Issues: Crossing Political Lines by Will Shelton
When
Jesus says love a neighbor, it includes the members of the political
party that you aren’t in. This is the same Jesus who gets pulled head,
hands, and feet first into politics and elections, where some authors
want him to run for president while both sides insist that he’s on
their side.

Treasuring Christ: Lessons from an Ethiopian Beggar by Jamie WallaceWorship at St. George’s Cathedral couldn’t have been any more different
than where I usually worship on a Sunday. Other than Jesus, it seemed
everything was different at this Ethiopian Orthodox Church in Addis
Ababa. First, there was the leper who was begging outside the gate.
