The King's Speech: St Paul and "The Call"
The King's Speech: St Paul and "The Call"
By Rose Canavan
The King's Speech is a film of unmasking, disillusionment, and triumph. It shatters the flawless facade of the monarchy and gives the viewer real sensitive insight into the struggles of humanity that even the media-altered ruling class are not exempt from. The entire story is a reminder that even kings have strengths and weaknesses.

From Grief, or Struggle, or Hardship- To Grace
By Teresa Hurst
Today, I was finishing a book I’m reading by my dear friend, Jeannie Ewing, entitled: From Grief to Grace, The Journey from Tragedy to Triumph, published by Sophia Institute Press. The impetus of this book is in sharing her story and struggles with being the mother of a medically fragile child.

God's Gift of Time
God's Gift of Time
By Jonathan Hayes
In his short but insightful book “How to Live on 24 Hours a Day”, Arnold Bennett discusses how one can effectively manage their time on a daily basis. Though some of the material in the book is a bit outdated (it was written in 1910), much of Bennett’s advice is still very helpful and useful for people today.

Does this soul need to be saved?
Does this soul need to be saved?
By Kathy Lamb
There I was in church on the first Friday of Lent for the Stations of the Cross. It’d been years since I went to the Stations of the Cross but for the new me, this was a must. Participation was sparse. I felt bad about that. I was in a pew by myself. The man in front of me was in the pew by himself.

The big mistake "Me Before You" makes
The big mistake "Me Before You" makes
By Josie Portz
The film and its advocates will try to argue that Me Before You is a story about loving someone despite the choices they make, and so the story is beautiful and worth your time, but they are missing a bigger picture. What is beautiful? What is good? What is true? Not this story.

"I Am His Beloved, and He Is Mine": Reflections on Henri Nouwen's "Life of the Beloved" (Part 1)
By Shannon Whitmore
“I am His Beloved, and He is mine” (Song of Songs 6:3). It’s quite possibly my favorite passage in all of Scripture. There is just something about being called ‘Beloved’ that speaks to the heart, especially to that of a woman. We long to be loved, to be called the Beloved, and in a way, to be possessed.

In the first movie, it takes place at a college where a philosophy professor makes all the students sign a piece of paper saying that God is dead and sign it in order to eradicate this issue from any class discussions in the future.
