I was just at one of our monthly school board meetings for Logos School last night, and was greatly encouraged by what is continuing to happen in our classrooms — as I am frequently encouraged by the reports at our board meetings. For just one example, over a million kids participated in the National Merit …
Backstory on Writing
Random House has posted an “author spotlight” featuring Nate and some of his backstory on writing. You can check it out here. And speaking of his writing, on our flight over to the UK (where I now am) I got a chance to listen to the first part of 100 Cupboards on audio. Really good …
Prospective Student Weekend
For those thinking about college, and where you are going to send your kid — and who isn’t these days? — you should really think about NSA’s prospective student weekend coming up. Here you go.
Charles Darwin, Call Your Office
I am delighted to be able to report that my reply to Sam Harris is going like gangbusters, and is now out in paperback. This means that you can get a copy now for the low, low price of nine clams. Take a look at it here. While we are talking about atheism on the …

Originally the entire trilogy was one big monster manuscript, which Random House decided to break into three separate books. And as the editorial process has gone forward, I have been privileged to read the story in its various …
Glorify God and Play the Bass
A group of young men in our church have had themselves a band for a few years now, and they have just completed an album. They were kind enough to give me a copy, which I have listened through a couple times now. They are quite good — one of the band members, when he …
Good News and Bad News
The bad news is that the bookplates I mentioned yesterday for 100 Cupboards are now gone. That’s the good news too.
Just After the Nick of Time
You all know that those who are interested may order 100 Cupboards from Canon Press. Right? Right. Now for some reason, best known only to themselves, the good folks at Random House determined that they wanted to release this book on December 26, just after the nick of time. But this great present/wrong day problem …
