When my dad learned that my relationship with my boyfriend was entering "serious" territory, he only wanted to know one thing: Have you had a good fight?

He wasn't hoping to see our relationship end up on the rocks; on the contrary, he wanted to be sure that we knew how to love and respect each other even when our interests were divided. He wanted to know that our love could survive the clash of differences two sinners in close quarters are bound to encounter. I've heard it so many times I could say it in my sleep: Conflict in marriage is a given. But it is your response to conflict that counts.

After converting hundreds of thousands of people in tribes across Africa, Pastor and founder of the Joshua Campaign, Karl Hargestam, has decided to reach people through his writing. His new book The Assignment: Journey to the Extreme is part fiction, part memoir. It’s main character, Cole, is moved by the story of a young African girl, his student, and decides to embark on a mission trip. He leaves his wife and 10-year-old son behind to journey through the African bush. Cole’s mission through Africa is based on the experiences of Hargestam himself. He tells of dangerous tribal chieftains, resistance to the word of God, and ultimately spreading Christ’s love to thousands of unreached peoples.

Instead of our administration's promised jobs, lottery and prosperity preachers are the only "growth industries" northwest author, Karen Spears Zacharias sees. She writes too many preachers offer a "name it and claim it" theology that has little to do with the Bible. "We have this notion that God owes us better than we've gotten," she says in, Will Jesus buy Me A Double-wide? (Cause I Need More Room for my Plasma TV).
