Thank You, Endorsers

Posted by MK | Filed under Books

We are one month away from the release date of Wednesdays Were Pretty Normal: A Boy, Cancer, and God. And because it’s Wednesday, and um, “Wednesday” is in the title of the book, I wanted to highlight some of the endorsers that appear in the first couple of pages. But I wanted to do so [...]

Jesus – Better Than Katniss Everdeen

Posted by MK | Filed under Books, Theology

That title may or may not mean anything to you, but it means something to me because I just finished reading the first book of The Hunger Games. Yes, it’s young adult fiction. Yes, it has a love triangle. No, it’s not about vampires and werewolves. Just wanted to clear that up. The book was [...]

The 5th Anniversary of Leukemia

Posted by MK | Filed under Books, Leukemia

Last week marked the 5th anniversary of when we sat in a room at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital and heard that our son had cancer. Devastating day. Each year since then, I’ve written a post with some reflections about cancer, faith, and our family. Funny enough, I was filming some teaching for the Bible study version [...]

What’s Better Than the Answer to “Why”?

Posted by MK | Filed under Books, Theology

Last week, I posted the video trailer for my book, Wednesdays Were Pretty Normal: A Boy, Cancer, and God. It seems there is a single line in that promotional video that is resonating with folks who have seen it. The statement goes something like this: “During times of great suffering, we think we want to [...]

I’m so excited to post today the promo video for my book that’s coming out in the spring called Wednesdays Were Pretty Normal: A Boy, Cancer, and God. I don’t know what else to say about this except that I’m incredibly grateful, and nervous, about the book coming out. I’ll post more about it as [...]

Wednesdays Were Pretty Normal: A Boy, Cancer, and God

Posted by MK | Filed under Books, Leukemia

This morning, me and the family are filming a promotional video for my book with B&H that will come out in March. It’s called Wednesdays Were Pretty Normal: A Boy, Cancer, and God. If you’ve hung around the blog for very long, you’ll know that our son, Joshua, was diagnosed with leukemia at age 2 [...]

Weak Faith in a Strong Branch

Posted by MK | Filed under Books, Theology

Tim Keller, in The Reason for God, argues why it is profitable to trust in Christ even when you don’t have it all figured out. This is good news for the doubter, for at one time or another, all of us, even those who call ourselves “Christians,” come to a point in life where we [...]

The Purpose of Miracles

Posted by MK | Filed under Books

In The Reason for God, Timothy Keller reflects on Matthew 28:17, when the apostles met the risen Jesus on a mountainside in Galilee. I’ve added emphasis on a particular sentence that caught my eye below: “When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted…” [Miracles] lead not simply to cognitive belief, but to worship, [...]
