Ian Morgan Cron’s memoirs is another one of my favorite reads of 2011. I found myself being drawn in from the first page. The CIA component of the title added a sufficient layer of mystery to hook me. Cron is also very funny and really knows how to tell a story. At the same time, his story evoked

Just two paragraphs into the book, Andy says, “When we are on the receiving end, grace is refreshing. When it is required of us, it is often disturbing. But when correctly applied, it seems to solve just about everything.” Grace is often one of those elusive “Christian words” that we hear and use all the

The inspiration for this book came when Anne Jackson posted a question on her blog: What is one thing you feel you can’t say in church? The response was overwhelming. Hundreds of people responded, Christians and non-Christians alike. People confessed to fears, addictions, doubts about God and the Bible, and many other things. Most people posted anonymously
