Making something beautiful in a broken world can be harrowing work, and it can’t be done alone.
 
Over the last twenty years, Andrew Peterson has performed thousands of concerts, published four novels, released ten albums, taught college and seminary classes on writing, founded a nonprofit ministry for Christians in the arts, and executive-produced a film—all in a belief that God calls us to proclaim the gospel and the coming kingdom using whatever gifts are at our disposal.

A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and a Great War by Joseph Loconte

1531Entertainment
Get it Here

Had there been no Great War, there would have been no Hobbit, no Lord of the Rings, no Narnia, and perhaps no conversion to Christianity by C. S. Lewis.
The First World War laid waste to a continent and brought about the end of innocence—and the end of faith. Unlike a generation of young writers who lost faith in the God of the Bible, however, J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis found that the Great War deepened their spiritual quest. Both men served as soldiers on the Western Front, survived the trenches, and used the experience of that conflict to ignite their Christian imagination.

Unselfish Love by A. Smith

She was beautiful. Her face was so smooth and perfect in every way.
Every time I ran my finger over her cheek, I smiled as her lips twitched into a small smile. Her blue eyes seemed to hypnotize me. We could look into each other’s eyes for hours. She weighed slightly more than five pounds, and she fit into my arms as if she were the final puzzle piece. She made me feel complete.
As much as I wanted her to, she wouldn’t come home with me. A different family would take her home. She would call them Mom and Dad. My heart broke to know that she wouldn’t call me Mom. I’d miss her first steps, her first words, her first day of school. I’d miss it all because she would have a better life.
I was selfish because I wanted to keep her. Unselfishly, I did what was best for her. There’s no way I could provide for a child when I was just a child myself.

In God’s Underground by Richard Wurmbrand

1531Entertainment
Get it Here

Imprisoned by the Romanian Communists for his work in the Christian Underground, and subjected to medieval torture, Wurmbrand kept his faith—and strengthened it.
For fourteen years, he shared that faith with suffering cellmates and gave them solace. In solitary confinement, he tapped out his message of hope and Christian love. In Room Four, the “death room”, he helped dying patients even though his lungs were riddled with tuberculosis and his body lacerated and bloody from whips and kicks. Anguished over the fate of his wife and son, he could still tell jokes and stories to make despairing prisoners laugh. Sorely tempted by the promise of release and reprieve, he refused to become a Communist collaborator.

And the miracle is that he survived.

With humble gratitude to God and Christ, he tells his personal story. It’s an inspiring drama of triumphant faith.
