3. Scott Sauls – Restless and Disoriented with God and Life. “There are few things like the presence of God that remind me that I am not yet what I am meant to be; that I fall short of the mark; that I am more small than I am significant; that, one hundred years from now, my name will be forgotten by the weary world in which I now live.”
4. Aaron Earls – Hillsong Church Splits from Denomination. Important news on one of the world’s most influential churches.
5. Andrew Sullivan – America: Land of Brutal Binaries. Sullivan interacts with the Haidt/Lukianoff book I reviewed last week, The Coddling of the American Mind.
6. Alisa Childers – Girl, Wash Your Face? What Rachel Hollis Gets Right and Wrong. Hard-hitting review of a bestselling inspirational book right now.
7. Paula Morantz Cohen – The Humanities’ Decline Makes Us Morally Obtuse. The great works of literature, history and philosophy that used to be at the center of a college education have been shunted to the sidelines or discarded entirely over the past two decades or more.
