Book Review and Reflections: Three Comrades
Why has it taken me so long to review one of Erich Maria Remarque’s books? He is my favorite author, hands down, and though I doubt we’d see eye to eye on certain things, I wish I could sit down with him over coffee and talk. And talk and talk and talk. One of theContinue reading “Book Review and Reflections: Three Comrades”

Film Review and Reflections: The Savage Peace
People often say, whether somberly or half-jokingly, that history is written by the victors. While some are so bold as to outright reject that statement, the documentary The Savage Peace is a stark testimony to the fact that what is taught about the Second World War has been handpicked. I know, there is simply notContinue reading “Film Review and Reflections: The Savage Peace”

Author D.T. Powell on “The Myth of ‘The Other'”
How can a Christian author write about a topic as controversial as homosexuality in a way that is both loving and Biblical, and does not simply rely on current church interpretations? Last year, I shared a heartfelt post about my beloved character, Christian Richter (you can visit the post here). Like me, author D.T. PowellContinue reading “Author D.T. Powell on “The Myth of ‘The Other’””

This month, I am thrilled to introduce you to another of my fellow Brave Authors, Ruth “R. F.” Whong. Earlier this year, I enjoyed her book Prestige of Hearts.
