I loved getting to write this article for @CTmagazine after watching Someone Like You by @KarenKingsbury and discussing the turn of evangelism from fiction to film.

(so many thanks to the editors and scholars involved!)

As Christian romances make their way to theaters, their writers are seizing opportunities for evangelism.

There is something absolutely hilarious that the main character in Beverly Lewis’s flagship series leaves her Amish community to become an evangelical because she was sick of getting her clothes policed by others.

Today I listened to the retirement speech of the professor who got me to take a History class my first year at IWU, and became a mentor who inspired me to get my PhD in History. I could not be more greatful for his teaching of history and the humility of Christ. Thanks Dr. Smith!
