Review: It's Easy Being Green by Emma Sleeth
You've heard the debates about climate change - where "it's all humanity's fault" or "it's a natural meteorological cycle" are the end points on a continuum in the environmental blame game. Emma Sleeth's debut book doesn't go there at all, instead restating the argument in terms of 'creation care'.

'Expelled' Documentary Seeks to Elevate Academic Freedom Debate
I have a love-hate relationship with Ben Stein's new movie, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. On one hand, the subject of academic freedom and Intelligent Design desperately needs to be publicly addressed and someone like Ben Stein is the perfect candidate to do so. On the other hand...

When Angels & Serpents Dance is the end product of fourteen years of musical experimentation by San Diego, CA-based P.O.D. The album encompasses the band’s hardcore/punk roots, the hip-hop style lyrics, and the reggae flavor that have marked their previous releases and made P.O.D a name.

Youth Pastor Edwin Pacheco is on a mission to save New York City's public schools. But unlike some who prefer a more fire and brimstone approach, Pacheco's primary concern isn't escape from hell. It's God's kingdom "on earth as it is in heaven," and it responds in real time to real needs.

Hawk Nelson is My Friend, Hawk Nelson’s third release on Tooth & Nail Records, continues to walk the pop-punk/hard-rock genre line. They succeed at keeping the messages in their songs consistent with their previous work while not sounding like they just reproduced their early releases.
