Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories

Hey, Reader!

I’ve been in the UK over the past couple weeks. Today, for example, in Cambridge, I took a break at the Pickerel Inn, which is one of the later places where friends J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis had their famous Inklings gatherings.

I’m anxious to share with you some of the places I’ve seen, which may also soon show up in some of my stories.

For example, where we were on Thursday and Friday was like time-travel into a fairytale. I had no idea such a place existed!

Tomorrow we’re taking a day trip into London. But before pulling back the secrets of England, I need to pop this email into your inbox.

The Book Mobile is honking that today is the final day to access the below 3 sets of books. Enjoy!

But as I’ve matured, I have come see it as a question that we SHOULD ask ourselves. Instead of “How are you doing?” we should ask: “How’s your heart?” In this newsletter I surely don’t…
