If you are raising a neurodivergent child, you already know how badly that picture misses your reality.

Rather than asserting a hope premised on a few chosen ones escaping the world, Left Behind and Lov...

GOD IN CHAINS opens with the very real moment when Mark awoke in his bedroom and realized his grip on those beliefs (or their grip on him?) had loosened. There's someone else in the room ...
