If you’re anything like me (I extend my sympathies), the dawn of a new year brings with it a chance for reflection and re-vision. I like the hyphenated version of that word; I think it conveys the meaning a little better than revision. Re-vision suggests to me the casting of a new vision, new direction, new emphasis, new focus.

The talent of this married couple is incredible. Lang Lang and his wife, Gina Alice Redlinger, play Brahms’ Hungarian Dance No. 5. Imagine them practicing separately each day–for hours!

The Grand Canyon of Crossover Writing

A number of Christian writers desire to write a book published by a large publisher focused beyond the Christian market. The motivation and focus are well-intentioned, amplifying a Christian message to the larger world. But while the author has this desire to reach a broader audience with a message of hope, companies that publish to the general population have an entirely different agenda, which …
