The White Horse King
On 1/11 Brandon Smith wrote: I love all things British—all things traditionally British. Picking up Benjamin Merkle’s The White Horse King, I really didn’t know what to expect. I had never heard of a King Alfred, much less one that involved the British Isles. To my delight, the book was really good! I learned all about Viking ... The White Horse King
Fearless
On 11/27 Brandon Smith wrote: Max Lucado in his typical sing songy style brings to life poetically the phrase, "Be still and know that I am God" in his latest book.

Why isn’t classic Christianity little more ... Nelson's Illustrated Guide to Religions

The Noticer
On 4/27 Brandon Smith wrote: Imagine Morgan Freeman dispensing wisdom from books he has gathered from works by Gary Chapman (Marriage Expert), Andy Stanley (Life Coach), John Maxwell (Leadership Guru), Les and Leslie Parrot (Relationships) and autobiographies of famous leaders in seemingly random places and random people. This is ... Perspective
The Principle of the Path
On 4/20 Brandon Smith wrote: I’m a twenty something. And wherever I go, I am faced with plenty of peers that have given up on marriage, live with one another, or any other multitude of things. They all have a basic argument. This is that scripture, or even traditional conservative principles, are outdated. On my worst days, ... The Path We Need to Be On
