An Allegorical Conversion Story: C.S. Lewis’s The Pilgrim’s Regress
This week I finished re-reading C.S. Lewis’s The Pilgrim’s Regress, and guys—it was thrilling. Seems like an odd description for a spiritual allegory from almost a century ago, but it’s true. I’d read it before, maybe during high school, so I found plenty of…
The Mythmakers by John Hendrix

(Bonus points if you’ve read George Orwell’s 1984.)
Awful Poetry for Children: A Small Rant
You may not be a poetry buff, but I’m sure you’ve read enough children’s books to know an awful poem when you hear it. My question is, why are some people writing garbage for kids, and what can be done about it? See for yourself in today’s post.
