Sorry for the Blog Silence
This has been a grueling week for us, ministry-wise, and posting here has fallen to the bottom of the priority list. I am revving up to begin regular updates again on Monday. So, stay tuned.
Max Moment: Author Interview
Earlier this week we were pleased to a very kind review by book-blogger extraordinaire (and my sister-in-law) Kalyn Comings. Today, she has continued the Missionary Max mania with an interview with the author–yours truly. I had fun answering her questions, and I hope they give you some insight into the “why” and “wherefore” of The…

Video: Bahia in 1927
I was going to include this in a Daily Dozen, but it is so cool, I decided to give it a post all it’s own. From Deep Brazil comes this video from the state of Bahia in 1927. This is the kind of thing that Brazilians see imperfectly reproduced in historical novelas. Enjoy! The Astonishing…
Brazilian Musical Interlude: Yamandú Costa plays “Carinhoso”
