Till We Have Faces Review: CS Lewis’s Masterpiece on Self-Discovery and Divine Revelation

When I first encountered CS Lewis as a young reader, I deliberately avoided Till We Have Faces. It sounded depressing—a retelling of a Greek myth that didn't promise the happy endings I craved. Years later, after rediscovering Lewis's works, I finally read both this novel and The Great Divorce, and they've become two of my most frequently quoted books.

Published in 1956, Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold stands as one of Lewis's absolute best novels, possibly influenced significantly by his w...

Psalm 138:8 and God’s Faithfulness When Plans Fall Apart

First #FunFact, out of the 400 or so Scripture graphics that I’ve created to publish on my site one for Psalm 138:8 is one of my top five favorites.

I love the colors of the image. (That is 95% of my strategy when it comes to creating graphics, find images I love and put good words over them).

I love the setting, the burst of the sun rising over the sea. One can imagine oneself standing on the cliff looking towards the horizon for the promised hope to come.

I also love the verse itself....

The Facade by Michael Heiser: When Biblical Scholarship Meets Science Fiction

Discovering Michael Heiser: From Debunking Ancient Aliens to Biblical Fiction

My journey to discovering Dr. Michael Heiser's work began in an unlikely place — while fact-checking wild claims about ancient aliens. After encountering a writer who referenced Zechariah Sitchin without citing any sources, I found myself lost in what felt like a sandstorm of unsubstantiated theories. That search led me to "Sitchin is Wrong," a website where Michael Heiser systematically debunked every claim made by...

YouTube Prophecies, Tiktok, and the Rapture: A Guide to the End Times

The evening of Monday, September 22nd, marks the beginning of the Jewish holiday, Rosh Hashanah and the beginning of the civil year.
“Rosh” is the word for “head” in Hebrew and “shanah” means year. Rosh Hashanah means “head of the year.”

So what is this year’s furor over Rosh Hashanah and the Rapture? What does a Jewish, largely secularly celebrated, holiday have to do with a Christian End Time belief?

Even though modern Jewish customs for celebrating Rosh Hashanah are largely secular and...

Hebrew Translation Reveals Hidden Meaning in Psalm 54:4

Thought for the Day: prepositions are important.

I'm reading through the Psalms again, even though I finished my annual reading on Pentecost.

Craig Reynolds with @Sbchouston once said, "Psalms is a ferocious book" and that is the mindset in which I need to immerse myself right now.

Every reading is a little different depending on what I've been through and what I AM going through. The Holy Spirit will highlight different scr...

History has universally decided that the Nazis and their totalitarian rule were the 20th century embodiment of evil. So why does the 21st century GOP take it's lead from the Nazi Brownshirts?
