By Levi Dade A few months ago, I sat with a close friend in one of the booths of our university’s coffee shop. My friend, whom I will call Tom, is an atheist. Tom is a genuine truth-seeker, and he would be a Christian if he thought Christianity was “actually true.” During our conversation, we […]
Por Alisa Childers Permítanme empezar diciendo que me gusta Rob Bell. (No pensaste que iba a decir eso, ¿verdad?)
