How to Walk with Those Who are Suffering?

Seeing suffering always disturbs me. But then I read an article by Dorothy and Christopher Greco in Christianity Today which helped. They wrote wrote: “Rarely does any organization, Christian or otherwise, offer another option: that of accompanied suffering. To be transformed into the image of Christ, we must suffer as Christ did, a suffering too great for any individual to bear…

Personal First Hand Research–in Your Own Family!

Your family is the best source of personal research. Start with the simple ones first: “Tell me a story.” Out of the past can come amazing tales that not only are true but are pertinent to you. If your family remembers them, they probably reverberate with emotion, too. (And if someone claims to have no memory of their childhood, I…

First Hand Research and Oswald Chambers

Astonishing Research–Madeleine L’Engle

A Madeleine L’Engle letter astonished me in 2013 at Wheaton College. I had traveled to Wheaton College’s Special Collections Library to research  Oswald Chambers.
