Dr. Milly Erema, in my home and taking her to the Society of Biblical Literature meeting, where she impressed the scholars at an Old Testament […]
Tire Treads and Jesus
Sometimes the Lord uses quirky, creative ways to get the word out! Check out this note that a reader sent to me just a couple days ago: I wanted to share a testimony with you. I have a copy of your Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus book. I didn’t purchase it. It wasn’t given to […]
What about the Torah? Two Useful Discussions
How should the Torah inform how we live as believers today? I’m happy to see more conversations going on about this online. Just recently I bumped into two good discussions from two very different kinds of sources that I thought would interest readers – if not one, then the other.

Lois, Why don’t you write more from a “woman’s perspective”?
