All history is biography
(This post contains affiliated links.) We just finished Carry On, Mr. Bowditch by Jean Lee Latham — an excellent book and highly recommended — and my appetite was whetted. I had never heard of Nathaniel Bowditch in my American history studies. While I’m no history scholar, I’m better read than the average bear. If the fictionalized […]

admirable people, Christianity, conviction, gospel, Jesus, lies, story, things that drive me crazy, truth
About that touching story making the rounds…
