“I don’t read, I watch.” This is the credo of many a film critic. Truth be told, movie reporters read a great deal. And occasionally we discover a book that no film could match. Grace Is Enough (B & H Books) by Willie and Maylo Aames is such a discovery. I knew the actor Willie Aames from Eight Is Enough and Charles In Charge. I knew he and his wife had moved to Kansas City, where I now call home. And I knew they were Christians and responsible for the Bibleman and Misty Files videos. I had no idea, however, of the hellish existence they had made for themselves in their early years through drug use, or the indescribable pain that had been inflicted on them by family and others who had stolen their childhood.

By Donald L. Hughes
 Donald Miller, author of a wonderful book, Blue Like Jazz, has just released a thoughtful new book called To Own A Dragon. In it he reflects on the meaning of fatherhood.
Miller tells the story of John MacMurray, a godly man who was a part-time school teacher, Bible teacher and nature photographer in a tiny Oregon town. MacMurray invited Miller, then a college-age wanderer, to live in their garage apartment, and over a four-year period MacMurray discipled Miller in the things of the Lord, and in the process became a father-figure to him.

Iran is in the news again. They have just mastered the process of enriching uranium, it seems, so that means atomic weapons are in reach for them. It just adds to the saber-rattling that is all too common in Middle-Eastern politics.
