Zondervan/Youth Specialties has come out with a book entitled Barack Obama: An American Story. It is co-written by Ariele Gentiles and Bob Carlton (who is a good friend). I haven’t had a chance to look at the book yet, but I’m sure it will be an interesting read. They have set up a great book [...]

As you know, I haven’t written much about politics during this election season. I don’t tend to talk much about politics on this blog, but it does come up from time to time.
