What do Sherlock Holmes, Star Wars, A Christmas Carol, and Charlotte's Web have in common? Seven identical and profound themes. Actually we use only these four stories as examples of seven inescapable themes, found in whole or in part in every story in every medium from books to movies. I believe these themes are inescapable, not because our culture imposes them upon creators but because they reflect our deepest longings.

Of all the questions that have been asked, "What is love?" has to be one of the most important. Among other things in his new book, Dr. Michael Eaton answers this critical question for the crucible of his own painful experiences. Here is a man who has been flung out of the frying pan, emerged from the fire, and lives today to offer deep insight into the many complexities of love, not the least of which is its five-fold nature. Eaton relies not only on the scalped of his own pain but also on scripture to dissect the universal phenomenon of love, and he has put his finger on the crux of the ...

Tenacity Of The Maid are anthologies that I wrote while working as a domestic worker. I must say I learned to respect domestic workers than I ever did before. I met domestic workers in Jo’burg, Venda and Polokwane and saw one thing in common, these mothers are hard working and determined to fight poverty. They endure being underpaid, overworked, long hours of work, humiliation, belittling by their madams, their bosses’ husbands, and children. These women have to take care of their own families after a long day of hard work. Most madam’s do not register domestic workers for ...

Why do we often do what we know we shouldn't, and yet fail to do that which we know we should? It's the power of emotions that often wage war within us, wreaking havoc and confusion that often leads us to sin. Emotions touch upon every aspect of life: family, friendship, parenting, marriage, and all interactions at work and in the church, triggering reactions and dictating how we respond to everyday situations around us.

Early in my ministry while pastoring a church that was growing rapidly a pastor of an independent church in the area asked me what we were doing that resulted in the phenomenal growth we were having. Although I had not yet written the book Your Church Can Grow, that includes 35 Critical Questions in chapter four, we discussed several of those topics, and I have since realized that I should have included at least one additional topic in that book, and that is Usher’s and Greeter’s Ministry. I have since come to realize this topic is equally as important as the 35 other questions, and ...

Apocalypse of Mark is a Christian book written in the ancient style of apocalyptic literature and designed to be listened to like a short narrative book one would find in the Bible like Job, Ruth, or Esther. Narrator John Mark presents a linear retelling of the Biblical meta-narrative, heavily quoting from and alluding to the Biblical text. Beginning prior to creation and ending in the "new heavens and Earth" incorporating enigmatic Biblical passages, it demonstrates how they are indispensable to the overall redemption story.

There has been a void where this audiobook should have been. Plenty has been written on the mechanics of writing effective fiction, but story is more than its structure. Christian writers need not appeal to culture. Rather, they can guide listeners through stories that encourage them to become the heroes and heroines that we need. People need to be inspired, convicted, and encouraged, and The Soul of Story does that fearlessly.

The Four Loves (1960) by C. S. Lewis explores the nature of love from a Christian theological perspective. Making a careful distinction between “like” and “love", the author first defines the terms. The discussion is based on four Greek words for love: storgē, philía, éros, and agápe. These four types are friendship, affection, erotic love, and charity, or the love of God. Lewis defines each of these types of love and how they affect our lives. Lewis considers affection, friendship, and eros as natural loves, while charity is supernatural since it is closest to the form of love which is defined by the expression “God is love”. Lewis examines each of the four loves in detail, including their benefits and potential dangers.
