    • 2015, John J. Thompson, Jesus, Bread, and Chocolate:
      History is full of Christiany people, Christiany music, Christiany nations, and Christiany churches. They claim the name of Christ but seem uninterested or unwilling to submit to his authority or take his instructions seriously.
    • 2015, Jen Hatmaker, Ms. Understood: Rebuilding the Feminine Equation:
      I have a soft spot for outcasts. I've been an outsider so many times. I was too shy, then too loud. I wasn't cute enough. Not developed enough for the boys, then too developed for the girls. Not thin enough. Not pretty enough. Too pretty for them (“she must be vain”). Too Christiany here. Not Christiany enough there. Too young for this group. Too old for that group. Too conservative for those. Too liberal for them. Not enough money to run with this bunch. Not experienced in their area.
