There’s only a couple days left to order The Owlings: Book Two and have it delivered in time for Christmas. Thanks to everyone for helping to support this project. It hit #2 on new releases in genre. In fact, J.R.R. Tolkien (at least the one who manages the Twitter account in his name) sent out a tweet to his 100K plus followers recommending it. After all, one of the owls is inspired by the author of the ever popular Hobbit. The other three talking owls are also inspired by British authors: Dorothy, Clive, and Gilbert.

Here’s your weekend worldview reader for December 20, 2015, with links to articles, essays, reviews, and videos that I consider to be interesting or important from a biblical worldview perspective. Any work that I point to is not an endorsement, but rather an invitation for you to think deeply about your faith and the world around you.
