Join Dr. George Grant as he talks about how Nathaniel Ranew improved  his life of solitude through meditaion. 

Walter Hooper, the executor of C.S. Lewis' literary estate maintained that The Aboli- tion of Man was "an all but indispensable intro- duction to the entire corpus of Lewisiana." Lewis himself revealed that it was "almost my favorite among my books." Indeed, he referred to it again and again in virtually all of his later works—he says That Hideous Strength is "a novelization of its essential thesis" and the first four chapters of Mere Christianity "operate in effect, as a simpli- fied version or beginners' guide to Abolition." But, the average Evangelical reader today would be justifiably baffled by this notion: the book, despite its many pithy epigrammatic quotes, seems to be arcanely philosophical and morosely pessi- mistic.

Join Dr. Grant as he shows how  Sick Heart River turns the adventure yarn into a spiritual quest with an authority that few have ever rivalled.

Shelf Life - 7-19 - The Pastor of Kilsyth When we talk about Scotland's Reformation and journey into freedom, names like John Knox, Richard Cameron and Thomas Chalmers easily come to mind. No doubt, they were mighty men of God called and chosen to serve as men who ushered the nation into a greater place of blessing. A reality that changed the world. But have you ever wondered about the pastors who filled the pulpits of the land? The army of men whose "common place" ministries were the meat and drink of parishes of Caledonia? Join Dr. Grant as he introduces you to The Pastor of Kilsyth by Islay Burns, a behind the scenes look into the ordinary ministry of a typical servant of God in Scotland - the spiritual boots on the ground. This look into the ministry of a "common pastor" is nothing short of extraordinary.
