Interview with Author Stephen Nichols

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

I recently had the opportunity (on behalf of Westminster Bookstore) to talk with author Stephen Nichols about church history, writing, teaching, and his early life of crime.

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

I am pleased to announce that today I was accepted as a member of the World Reformed Fellowship (not to be confused with the World Wrestling Federation).
