Vanishing Grace by Philip Yancey
by
Philip Yancey may be the most gifted writer in Christian literature today. His writing is well-informed, crisp and clean. So, when he tackles an issue like grace, you know it’s going to be done well.

The Poet's Corner

John Lithgow has collected a wonderful assortment of poems fit for a lover or poetry or someone just getting started. I listened to the audio version of this book and highly recommend it. Lithgow reads some poems and has gathered a wonderful group or actors and friends to read the others. It’s easy to forget […]
