It is sometimes hard for us to grasp how profound the problem of modern superficiality is. Religious life in America is, by and large, superficial from the very top of the wet spot on the pavement to the very bottom of the wet spot on the pavement. We are, of course, talking about Joel Osteen. …
The Final Ashlockolypse
Okay, this is a shameless appeal, but more than that, this is an edifying shameless appeal, containing three parts all told. This concerns Nate’s writing career, and I believe I can speak here with a freedom I would not have if I were talking, say, about my own books. First, this is because Scripture says …
Last Day of the Canon Sale
Just a quick reminder . . .
Beating a Couple Drums

Books Are Training Wheels for the Mind
My daughter Rachel reviews Nate’s book here. She captures the heart of it, and does a good job representing what a big deal the right kind of stories are. Stories do what they do because we read them at the right time and in the right way. But before we do that, we buy them. …
CostCo Signings
If you are in the area, and want to help Nate’s books burrow into the woodwork at CostCo nationwide, then you should check out these signing opportunities. I know, I know, CostCo doesn’t really have any woodwork to speak of, but you get the picture. Nate will be at the Coeur D’Alene CostCo (355 East …
As the Doors Taught Us
It is now the Monday morning after a frenzy of activity for the Grace Agenda conference, along with associated events. Things were popping there for a bit, but we decided (as Jim Morrison so powerfully urged us) to break on through (to the other side). So here it is Monday, and we are very grateful …
