HISTORY's The Bible miniseries concluded last night with a lead in to Revelation. Starting five weeks ago, the Mark Burnett and Roma Downey produced drama has taken us from Genesis to an aging apostle John living in exile on the island of Patmos. There, he writes the last book of our Bible.
The Brody File has spent the last couple of days in Kentucky with Sen. Rand Paul and his family as we put together a national profile piece on him.
It will air on "The 700 Club" soon. Here is a small teaser clip from our ride with him between Somerset and Bowling Green, Ky.
Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter and praying that all of my Jewish friends around the world had a blessed Passover as well. I'm taking some time off to hang with family and finish my next book, which is due in April.
I'll be back writing in this space in the second week of April. Until then, God bless and remember to never hold your peace!
What better place for a story teller to come than the scene of the Greatest Story Ever Told … Israel. That's why Gary and Cindy Bayer have been doing for years, bringing the best storytellers of our generation to the land of the Bible to see for themselves this land called "holy."
Writers come to experience for themselves not only the sights and sounds of the land but also to meet the people - "the living stones" - that make this land come alive. They call it the "Writer's Gathering."
I am not at the top of my game. This is a simple admission as I write my weekly blog on marriage and relationships. Having delivered the eulogy for my best friend and dear colleague, Chuck Knopf, MA, who fought a courageous battle with cancer—and lost, I am a bit beleaguered myself. In some ways, I feel guilty for feeling so distraught.
DAR ES SALAM, Tanzania -- Christians and their churches here in Tanzania and Kenya are on alert this Easter weekend in anticipation of potential attacks against them. Many have armed police guarding their buildings.
It was very painful for me to witness the destruction of a young and beautiful friend. Her body and mind were being attacked by a cruel predator that was finally diagnosed as Lyme Disease.
She was a vivacious hair stylist by trade. The symptoms began when she began experiencing numbness in her feet, a huge problem for a person who stands all day. The numbness became so bad that she had to stop working. Since she couldn't work, she could not longer afford housing, and moved back home with her parents.
Direct from the school of, “Counter-Intuitive Thinking,” I bring you this question: When it comes to the issue of same-sex marriage, are Evangelical Christians actually the ones more ridiculed than homosexuals?
In the media’s narrative, you would think that homosexuals are the poor souls who have been banished by society like ugly stepchildren and are now rising to overcome incredible odds.
How would you feel if you went to church and wondered if this Sunday your church might be bombed?
How would you feel if you expected a knock on your door from government officials who might imprison you for holding a prayer meeting in your home?
How would you feel if suddenly the mood on your street turned unfriendly, then hostile and even violent because people knew you were one of "those Christians?"
Last week's episode of The Bible left us with Jesus telling Peter in his fishing boat that they were going to "change the world". Tonight's episodes, starting with the first hour aptly titled "Mission", begin to show how Jesus' presence changed the course of history.
