Staying Married is Not About Staying in Love is the title of Chapter One in John Piper’s This Momentary Marriage: A Parable of Permanence. Very different from the world has to say on the subject of marriage, isn’t it? In fact, the entire book is very contrary to society’s take on the bonds of matrimony….

Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert
I love memoir, and yes, I did read and enjoy (loved!) Elizabeth Gilbert’s memoir which helped stimulate the memoir genre as we know it Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman’s Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia. In the introduction to Committed, Gilbert herself addresses the difficultly of publishing a follow-up to the kind of…
True Love
As Valentine’s Day approaches, do you feel love in the air? Do you adore popping in a favorite romantic movie, or curling up to read a trusty old love story? Do you have romance in your heart?

But even before reading Gretchen Rubin’s yearlong exploration of happiness The Happiness Project, I knew that there were choices I made and habits that I have that interfered with the goal of…
Halfway to Each Other
There’s a reason that that commercial tagline is still in constant usage: “Calgon, take me away.” The busy pace of life leaves most of us longing for an escape. Halfway to Each Other: How a Year in Italy Brought Our Family Home tells the true story of Susan and Tim Pohlman. After they spent a…
First Things First
Growing up with an older brother, I was forced to watch (and even play) football. He taught me a lot about the game, and now it’s my favorite sport. I’m a die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan, but last year’s Super Bowl put me in a dilemma. I admire Arizona’s quarterback, Kurt Warner, and I wanted to…
