Questions from High Schoolers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, I had the opportunity to visit Faith Lutheran High School and Middle School in Las Vegas. My friend Sarah teaches theology there. She invited me to do a Q+A with some of her students about writing, faith, and particularly my three books. She opened the session to whoever wanted to come. It was only about a 30 minutes session, so I answered all of maybe ten or twelve questions, but there were hundreds submitted. There are some really profound questions, so I thought it would be worthwh
I Am Tired of War (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I am tired of war. Wars have been happening in various places around the globe for far too long. Ceasefires are brokered then broken. They are not peace, but merely a brief reprieve, a regrouping for more war. Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Russia, Ukraine, Nigeria, Sudan, Myanmar, the United States, and several other nations are all places where war is planned and waged.

Read excerpt
I have gotten a lot of questions about the now finished Tri10gy, so I thought I’d jot down a few them and some perhaps more thoughtful answers than the ones I initially gave.

I think Ten Treasures is my favorite as far as writing and style. I think Ten Lies is the most incisive, the one that hits readers the hardest. What do you t
When names change... (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In my hometown growing up, the grocery store owner was famous for remembering people’s names. Like literally, you could go in there once, be greeted by this unassuming gentlemen, then go back to the store three years later, and he’d remember your name. It was amazing. To be known, one must begin by knowing your name. But sometimes names change.My friend got married this summer. She changed her last name. I’m still not used to it. Every time I see her full name, I am confused about who it is. Lik
Why Do I Write? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My friend Paul sent me this quote the other day from Henri Nouwen. “Writing is a process in which we discover what lives in us. The writing itself reveals to us what is alive in us. The deepest satisfaction of writing is precisely that it opens up new spaces within us of which we were not aware before we started to write. To write is to embark on a journey whose final destination we do not know. Thus, writing requires a real act of trust. We have to say to ourselves: ‘I do not yet know what I ca
