My esteemed coworker, Rachel Santopietro, is one of the three “stars” of this edifying video. And what she describes is what I do: I help Christian textbook authors integrate the Bible naturally and powerfully (at least that’s the ideal!) into subjects from which God’s words have been removed or twisted.

(The two other Christians featured also did very well, as did the video director, Rich Streeter—please watch!)

(And if you’d like more information on making sure that your math, science, literature, and history classes are truly Christian, I encourage you to check out the evaluative tool we use at BJU Press. I can’t underscore enough how powerful these ideas have been, but it took working through them and discussing them in real life over the course of years for me to see that power.)

The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York by Robert A. Caro My rating: 5 of 5 stars Robert Caro is fascinated by power. He has given his life to exploring how it is gained and kept. And in Robert Moses, the subject of this epic book, power looks like the...
