Is There Really Anything New to Learn About Jesus?
Is there really anything new to learn about Jesus? Jesus died more than 2000 years ago. Everything we can legitimately know about His life was written down within a generation of his death. So when someone claims to have a new teaching on Christ, we should rightfully be a tad suspicious. I certainly was when I began reading Tom Gilson’s new book, Too Good to be False.

Learn How to Love Your Husband: the Key is Secret Service
Learning how to love your husband can be as simple as secret service. It was the key to unlocking my bitter, angry heart and learning to love my husband again, which, in turn, saved our marriage. What I really needed to learn was how to love your husband according to the Bible! We still really loved each other, but something was very broken. My husband was angry all the time. I was bitter.
