Miracles Are Not Always a Home Run
Anyone who has gotten involved in supernatural ministry has at some point prayed a prayer that goes something like, “God, would you heal this person for your glory so that many would hear their testimony and be saved?” This isn’t a bad prayer as people do sometimes come to salvation through the witnessing of such…

In the post-apocalyptic movie, The Book of Eli, the villain has one main mission: To find a copy of the Bible.
