The New Testament: Can I Trust It?
"How can any well-educated person believe the New Testament? It was written so long after the events it records that we can't possibly trust it as historically reliable." This is a common question on the university campus and deserves an honest answer.
How does one determine the authenticity of an ancient book? C. Sanders, a military historian,...... >Read More

What Makes Your Spouse Feel Loved?
One day, I asked my husband, Ron, to make a list of things he wished I would do for him: things that would make him feel loved. It was an amazing revelation. I made a wish-list, too, and when we started doing the things on each other's list, our marriage moved from frustrating to fulfilling.

In The New Intimacy, Judith and Jim present a stark contrast to that perspective, illuminating...... >Read More

The Blessings of Loneliness
Loneliness had gripped me. In two years, five of my roommates were married, not to mention countless other friends, and I was tired of being left behind.

My Husband Doesn't Share My Faith
I've rehearsed this scene in my mind 10,000 times: My husband, Barry, walks through the front door and says he has a surprise for me. He asks, "What's the one thing you want most in the world?"
