Books I Read in 2021

My Year in Books My list this year is considerably shorter than usual. In years past, most of my reading time was during my commute (audiobooks) and backstage time. This is the first year in some time that I haven’t worked any theatre shows. I’d like to restructure my time next year to include more reading. Also, this list never includes the books I read in my capacity as editor. So I do get more…

Book Review: The Harbinger and The Harbinger II

“You’ve asked me if the future was sealed,” he said, “if there was any hope for America, any way out of judgment. It was the day I first led you here that we spoke of that very thing . . . of hope.” The Harbinger II: The Return Harbinger (noun): something that foreshadows a future event: something that gives an anticipatory sign of what is to come. In 2011, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn wrote The…

By the time you finish reading this book, you will have a biblical basis for envisioning the eternal Heaven.

BOOKS I READ IN 2020

My Year in Books This year was, to say the least, unusual. I did less reading than normal, mostly because the loss of my theatre job meant that I lost my audiobook-listening time in the car. You can see my pattern of reading. I started out inhaling Hollywood memoirs, then took a side road with some borderline political bios. When I got back into a regular reading routine, it was very spiritually…

I came across an article several weeks ago that both surprised and delighted me. It’s an interview with Arik Zeevy, the Head Women’s Tennis Coach at Stevens Institute of Technology. When asked to reveal a Fun Fact about himself, he answered that he appears on the cover of a book:

What Do You Know About the Rapture?

Going with God or Left Behind. Where will you be in the Rapture?

Even among Christians, the concept of the Rapture is hotly contested. Is it real? When will it happen? Who will be included?
