C.S. Lewis regarded Till We Have Faces as his best book. Yet it is one of his least appreciated, even among his fans. Here I share a little bit about the themes of the novel, and why I love it so much.
Truth Unites is a mixture of apologetics and theology, with an irenic focus.
Gavin Ortlund (PhD, Fuller Theological Seminary) serves as senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Ojai.
