I. Introduction – What Do We Do Under Pressure? It is easy to be a Christian at church. We are in our safe place. We have no triggers. We are surrounded by brothers and sisters who encourage us. So, it is easy to stand here in our safe environment and say, “I am a follower … Continue reading Denying Christ
I. Introduction For several Sundays in a row, we’ve been coming to class and studying the prophet Ezekiel. Then one day Chris shows up and says, “Let’s turn to the book of Daniel.” What was Chris thinking? Were we done with Ezekiel? I don’t think so. When we start studying these prophets, there is always … Continue reading Risk Everything for God
I. Introduction It's almost the New Year, no thanks to the ancient Mayans. The New Year is a time for beginning fresh, to put our past behind us and look forward to a new beginning. For auld lang syne my friends, for auld lang syne. A new beginning means a new you. … Continue reading How Can God Still Love Me?
I. Introduction Today's lesson is going to hurt me more than it hurts you. Who enjoys discipline, raise your hands. Hold on; give me a second to count all the hands of the people that love discipline. Looks like… None. Just what I expected. There are two types of discipline. There's the positive type of discipline. … Continue reading Deciding on Discipline
I. Introduction Living by faith is difficult. It's very easy to have either an over-dependence or under-dependence on God. Does living by faith mean living by a certain moral or ethical code, or adhering to a certain set of religious beliefs? Well... on one hand, living by faith means putting your trust in Jesus, following … Continue reading Faith in Action
I. Introduction Sometimes it's difficult to teach a familiar parable; we have pre-conceived notions, or perhaps previous bible studies left in our heads. The Prodigal Son, the Lost Sheep, the Faithful Servant, the Ten Virgins, and so on. Even non-Christians have heard the phrase "good Samaritan." Let’s see if we can look at this parable … Continue reading Be a Good Neighbor
I. Introduction From time to time, we all come to a big decision in our lives. I've lost my job; what should I do now? I have a medical issue; how should I treat it? Is this person right for me? Should I compromise, or should I stand my ground? We are faced with decisions … Continue reading Praying About Difficult Decisions
I. Introduction I visited a coworker in the hospital this weekend. He told me he was at home watching tv when the doorbell rang. When he opened the door, there was a 6 foot cockroach standing there. Before he could say anything, the cockroach punched in the stomach and ran off. The next night, he … Continue reading Security in God
Welcome to the CLXXVIII edition of the Christian Carnival. Whoa, CLXXVIII. That's a lot of Roman letters just to say it's the 278th edition. My apologies for the late edition. Real life, as always, got in the way. No excuses, I'm just late. This week's best Christian writing is presented for your intellectual perusement and … Continue reading Christian Carnival CCLXXVIII
Image via WikipediaIntroduction Last week, Michelle taught from Isaiah 6. This week, the lesson covers Isaiah 7-23. When I first started studying, I though, whoa, we're supposed to cover 16 chapters? I spoke to Fred about this last Saturday; he said there was no problem covering all 16 chapters, he would enjoy a thorough lesson. … Continue reading Act on Revealed Truth
Welcome to the CCLXV edition of the Christian Carnival, this week's collection of the best Christian writing on the planet. Prolific writing this week, too! There are a huuuge number of submissions. Grab a cup of coffee and sit back and enjoy. Richard H. Anderson presents Shalom for the shepherds posted at dokeo kago grapho … Continue reading Christian Carnival CCLXV
From Obama's speech last night - Most economists almost unanimously recognize that, even if philosophically you’re — you’re wary of government intervening in the economy, when you have the kind of problem we have right now — what started on Wall Street, goes to Main Street, suddenly businesses can’t get credit, they start paring back … Continue reading Most Economists Agree – The Stimulus is a Bad Idea
God bless Joellen Murphy for her ministry. Joellen Murphy is putting together a campaign to counter atheist messages at Christmastime. Atheists in the nation's capitol have been campaigning to get Americans to doubt God's existence this Christmas, but one Christian woman is standing up against their efforts. Joellen Murphy had been praying for a chance … Continue reading I Believe Too
I could call this the "Day After Trying to Recover From What Might Have Been a Minor Flu Edition," but I won't. Christmas Season and Flu Season accompany each other every year, like Hansel and Gretel, or Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum. I had just enough aches and pains to baby myself to prevent a flu... heck, … Continue reading Christian Carnival CCLIV
We’ve been studying the rise of David as King of Israel. David is an interesting man, full of failures, yet David is a man after God’s own heart. What makes David different? How is David different than Saul? As we studied in 1 Samuel, the people of Israel demanded a king and God gave them … Continue reading Responding to Loss
Image via WikipediaIt's National Bailout Day, seeing as how our illustrious US Congress has allocated $700 billion for Wall Street bankers. As Christians, I think we probably could put $700 billion to better use, don't you? But I got to thinking that our lives are not ours, we have been purchased at a cost. How … Continue reading Christian Carnival CCXLIV
I must be a target, then. U.S. presidential rivals Barack Obama and John McCain target religious voters on Saturday when as guests of one of America's foremost evangelists they discuss faith in public life, AIDS, the environment and other issues. Neither of the candidates appeal to me from a spiritual conviction. McCain can be downright … Continue reading Targeting Religious Voters
La Shawn Barber asks Obama, "Who Do You Say Jesus Is?" Obama portrays himself a man of faith. But a man's level of faith is far less important than what he has placed his faith in. If you have a tremendous amount of faith in the Energizer Bunny, it's far less effective than faith the … Continue reading Question for Obama: Who Do You Say Jesus Is?
When the US Government funds anything remotely Christian in nature, all sorts of "separation of church and state" groups get upset. The ACLU files a lawsuit and the "offensive" Christian material is removed. So why is it ok for US tax dollars to be used to oppose Christianity? Shouldn't the same standard be used? PBS, … Continue reading PBS and the Separation of Church and State
Go get'em, James Dobson. Obama had some very liberal interpretations of what the bible says, and simultaneously tried to minimize Christian influence in politics *and* say that all religious discussions are welcome. James is firing back against what he called a "fruitcake interpetation of the bible." I love that phrase. News sources come from here … Continue reading Fruitcake Interpretation of the Bible
This week, Chasing the Wind is honored to host the 228th edition of the Christian Carnival, a collection of this week's best Christian blogging. This week is Father's Day - so let us remember this week that it is our Father in heaven that gives us Life in Him! Would you like to participate in … Continue reading Christian Carnival CCXXVIII
Don't let your worries get the best of you; remember, Moses started out as a basket case. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited until you try to sit in their pews. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisors. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is … Continue reading Christian One Liners
Chasing the Wind is honored to host the 219th edition of the Christian Carnival II, the blogosphere's best Christian writing. My comments on the post in italics after each entry, but I left the author's original thoughts when he or she provided them. I included almost all posts I received; I excluded two from the … Continue reading Christian Carnival CCXIX
I was idly going through the contacts on my handheld PDA the other day while returning from a business trip, and I decided I needed a better system to file people. I have roughly 400 people in my PDA under the following categories: 65 "Business - Home" 130 "Business - Work" 30 "Faith" 150 "Personal" … Continue reading Categorizing People
Welcome to the 208th edition of the Christian Carnival, a weekly amalgomation of this week's best Christian writing. Chasing the Wind is humbled to host such a fine collection of postings this week; I suggest picking a few titles below and clicking them; you won't find a finer collection of Christian thoughts anywhere on the … Continue reading Christian Carnival 208
I've decided against continuing my weekly update of the Christian Carnival blogroll. If you were using it, I hope you enjoyed it. After 2 years of updating it, I think I'm going to rely on other automated sources. One source is at Blogcarnival; a widget for your blog is here. It looks like this: There … Continue reading Blogrolling Christian Carnival (Update)
After two years of updating the Blogroll for the Christian Carnival, I'm considering discontinuing this effort. If you run a blog that uses this blogroll, drop me a comment and I'll consider keeping it going.
http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=chasingthewin-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=1596690763&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr I'm coveting. There, I said it. I want what Vicky Kuyper has. Not the travels - I get to do that for business. Not the lifestyle, either. I want her eyes, the way she can look at the world and see how God is working in her, around her, through her. Wonderlust is Vicky's … Continue reading Review: Wonderlust
Jesus and Money Recently in a comment, I was challenged regarding posting my stock selections; the concern from Chris was that such financial considerations were incongruous with the teachings of Jesus. Chris Says: September 18th, 2007 at 11:03 am I find it somewhat ironic and mildly amusing that your blog contains articles of spirituality along … Continue reading Jesus and Money
Christian apologetics books can be pretty dry, but Lee Stroble makes it warm and personable. Instead of lecturing the reader on such topics as "Did the church alter early gospels to suit a political purpose?" and "Was Jesus married to Mary Magdelene," the author instead takes you on a journey to visit world renowned archaeologists … Continue reading Review: The Case for the Real Jesus
Christian Carnival 189 is up at Diary of 1. Best Christian blogging *and* all you wanted to know about Dietrich Bonhoeffer. What a combo. 🙂
Amy chronicled her battle with leukemia, and showed how to fight the battle with a warm, loving, patient, Christian heart. We will all go to be with our Lord someday; Amy's day was yesterday. You can read her entire battle from Amy's first post I wholly believe my journey through leukemia began from the foundations … Continue reading Living With Leukemia
* Nod to Another Day Closer for the link. ** The "embedding" code doesn't appear to be working. If there's a box with a little "x" in it above, try this link: Am I a Christian?
Through the Motley Fool, I read a few forums; a participant recently posted a review that included a discussion of Christian faith, postmodernism, Captain Kirk and Captain Picard. It's a terrific book review and offers some insight into those that dwell in a postmodern world. Those of us with faith in Jesus may find insight … Continue reading Evangelism, Postmodernism, and Star Trek
Michael Vick, the Atlanta Falcons quarterback, has been all over the news recently. Indicted for dog-fighting, his friends turning witness against him, loss of his quarterback position and the millions of dollars in signing bonuses and advertising deals, Michael Vick has certainly learned a hard and probably one-way lesson. And given the atrocious stories about … Continue reading Michael Vick: Where is Jesus?
Christian Carnival #186 is up... here! Chasing the Wind is humbled to host the Carnival this week. Without further ado, here are this week's best Christian blogging. Oh wait, here's a little more ado. I've divided this week's post in sections with a brief description about how this relates to Christian living. Ok, *now* we're … Continue reading Christian Carnival CLXXXVI
Via Michelle Malkin via Weasel Zippers (no, really, that's the name of their website) (and links from National Catholic Reporter and Asia Times, there are 111 million Chinese Christians, and every day there are 10,000 more. By 2050, China will be the third largest Christian nation behine the United States and Brazil. Ten thousand Chinese … Continue reading 10,000 Christians a Day
It's good to see somebody putting their money and their life where their faith is. I learned something about Dominos Pizza today: The founder, Tom Monaghan, is a faithful Catholic. He's used his fortune to found the town of Ave Maria, Florida. What makes Ave Maria so special is that it's designed for Christians. Tom's … Continue reading Ave Maria
Taliban fundamentalists kill an unarmed Korean Christian. Please pray for the other 22 Christians still held captive, 18 of whom are women. Reuters identifies them as "church volunteers" killed by "Taliban." Michelle Malking correctly identifies them by their religion. Westerners like to obscure the religion because it's uncomfortable, but the radlical Islamists have no qualms … Continue reading Muslims Kill Korean Christian
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know I haven't posted much. Been really, really busy. I still owe Jennifer my answers to The Eight. I'll get to it, soon, I hope. I wanted to blog about how the Democrats are findng religion. Apparently it's ok with The Media if the Democrats talk about their faith, but if … Continue reading Silence!
Christian Carnival #180 is up at Everyday Liturgy. This week's best Christian blogging includes these entries - "Holiness and Excellence", a reflection on Paul’s prayer in Philippians 1:9-11, at Real Meal Ministries. Sola Scriptura Considered at Pseudo-Polymath. Objectivity in Studying Abortion at Hope for Pandora. Check some of the other posts, too.
Mingle2 - Online Dating Heh. Chasing the Wind is rated "PG" because the word "dead" shows up twice and "missionary" once. I guess they're not expecting Christian websites and they way we use those terms. 🙂 * Nod to Coffeeswirls for the link.
This week's best Christian blogging has been posted at Christian Carnival #179. Y'all have a terrific Independence Day, y'hear?
Christian Carnival 178 is up at ... Chasing the Wind! I have the honor of hosting this week's carnival, affectionately known as Christian Carnival 178, 2^89th, hexadecimal B2, or binary 10110010. Whew, and I think there were almost that many entries. 🙂 They're presented here in roughly the order submitted; if you're a blog author … Continue reading Christian Carnival CLXXVIII

In no particular order - Building the ark: Greenpeace activists are building an ark on Mount Ararat. Amusing. Of course, Greenpeace isn't a Christian organization (they don't seem to be anti-Christian, as far as I can tell) but they border on Christian mockery to make a point about global warming. Obscene bible: In Hong Kong … Continue reading Mid-Week Links and Oddities
Disclaimer: I am not God. Any judgemental statements are purely a result of my own hypocritical sinful nature. I know not who goes to heaven save me for the grace of God. That said, I'm looking for some sort of explanation. Why do... um... (heathens? Lite-Christians? Words fail.) wear a cross around their neck? Is … Continue reading Sign of the Cross
Christian Carnival #171 is up at Light Along the Journey. This week's best Christian blogging can be found on the Carnival. Some highlights - Playing Your Instrument (using your spiritual gifts) The Uniqueness of Christian Ecology (God signs His covenant with His creation) Lessons from the Terminal Illness that Wasn't (Make the most of every … Continue reading Christian Carnival 171
The news isn't interesting yet again today. Republicans admire the Democrat's desire to surrender. I don't disagree that the Iraq war must end eventually, I just don't think Congress should be dictating it. But I'm alone on that point, I think. Tammy Faye Bakker is preparing to die, but aren't we all. I don't spend … Continue reading Bits and Pieces
My brain is still stuffed with sand. I feel awake early in the morning, but I know I'm not. It becomes abundantly clear to me later if I reread my early morning posts. i'm repetitive, I make spelling misakes, I leave out entire words. An hour later, I'll think, "man, there's something not quite right … Continue reading Monday Morning
Christian Carnival CLXX (170) is up at Brain Cramps for God. If you're interested in the behind-the-scenes look of Christian Carnival, or you have a Christian Blog and would like to participate, this week's Carnival has some information interspersed among the posts.
Oh my goodness what a fabulous book that was. It's not a deeply theological book, it doesn't get into controversial issues, it simply describes the joy of loving God. The author, Margaret Feinberg, doesn't delve into religious issues that can separate Christians today. Instead, she challenges us to strip away our pre-conceived notions of who … Continue reading The Organic God
Barrack Hussein Obama describes himself as a Christian and the New York Times is almost besides itself with glee. Notice the picture and how holy Obama appears. I like Christians, I really do. I happen to be one. But those people that routinely exhibit their Christian faith are routinely trashed by the New York Times. … Continue reading Barack Hussein Obama: Self-Described Christian
First, prayers for the previous administrator of the Christian Carnival are needed. Dory of Wittenberg Gate has suddenly gone missing, so pray for her well-being and health. The Christian Carnival is trying to reorganize as Christian Carnival II. If you're interested in becoming part of this resurrected carnival, join the Google Group Christian Carnival II.
I don't see how this passes for news. A Houston Chronicle reporter doesn't like bible studies going on in the courthouse. Just before 12:30 p.m. almost every Tuesday, Judge James Squier leaves his 312th Court and heads upstairs to the seventh floor of the Harris County Family Law Center. There, in an associate judge's chamber, … Continue reading Book of Judges
I mentioned earlier that the secular marketing campaign before every Easter tries to derail the faith in the resurrection of Jesus. This year, it was a blockbuster-style "documentary" that the remains of Jesus had been found in a tomb. Pay no attention to all those archaeologists that debunked this claim years ago, this time it's … Continue reading The Tomb That Isn't
Ah. A lightbulb goes off. I read several posts this Easter weekend about the dangers of forming a theocracy. The Houston Chronicle linked to one at Feet to the Fire: The banwitdth devoted to the dangers of Church to State is enormous. Being righteous lefties that analysis comes easy to us. As a lefty who … Continue reading Blog Against Theophobes
What's my gripe with public education? Besides the fact they seem to be devolving into a giant secular babysitting service, it's public money - my money - being used to teach young people values that oppose my values. I don't mind being opposed, really. I *do* mind being taxed to fund my opposition. The latest … Continue reading Christian Terrorists and Public Education
Cleaning up the website to match the new template, I don't know where I should post the old Blogrolls I no longer use (but I still want to maintain the links. I'm posting them here for now, but there's no need for you to click this link to continue, there's nothing interesting there. Eventually as … Continue reading Blogrolls
Last week I wrote about Christian Submission to authorities so it seemed only right that a trip to Washington D.C. was in order. The wife & I planned a little mini-vacation to stay with a Russian friend in Alexandria, Virginia, just a piece up the ways (man it feels good to speak Texan again) from … Continue reading Washington D.C.
Ah, there it is. I wondered where the Christian Carnival was this week. 🙂
The 166th Christian Carnival is up at Wittenberg Gate.
This week's best Christian blogging is up at Everyday Liturgy.
Took my favorite date with me yesterday afternoon (my wife) to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. Had a great time. We watched two little chicks breaking out of their shells and a small crowd had gathered to root for them. The one we called "hermit crab" one, but not by much. Then we saw … Continue reading Josh Turner at the Rodeo
This week's Christian Carnival is up, and it's being hosted this week... here, at Chasing the Wind! I've decided to categorize the entries this week into posts about Jesus, posts about our relationships, and posts about us. Jesus tells us we are to love him and love our neighbor as ourselves, and that reminds me … Continue reading Christian Carnival CLXIII
It's amazing. When I talk to people that don't know Christ, some of them don't even believe He lived. Or they except tripe like Da Vinci Code as truth of a coverup. But let some big shot director shoot a movie about 27 year news, they immediately believe that. Why are the falsehoods so easy … Continue reading Why So Quick to Believe?
"Too preachy?" That's a new one to me. Hollywood is taking out all the factual, religious elements of the movie Amazing Grace and replacing them with secular, humanistic socio-political motives. From the Wall Stree Journal (subscription required): Hollywood's 'Amazing' Glaze By CHARLOTTE ALLEN Wall Street Journal, February 23, 2007; Page W11 ...Alas, a lot of … Continue reading "Amazing Grace," Hollywood Style
Christian Carnival CLXII is up at Brain Cramps for God. This is a great carnival -- come and enjoy.
The Evangelical Ecologist hosts this week's Christian Carnival CLXI, this week's best Christian postings. Hey, Chasing the Wind is on there this week. I'll post hosting the carnival here on February 28th; I'm starting to get a little apprehensive because it looks like a lot of work. Eeep!
I was at the gym last night, working on the treadmill. My usual habit is to listen to stuff on my iPod Shuffle, a mix of Country & Western, 70's Rock, 90's Folk Music, Spike Jones, Contemporary Christian, A Capella African Christian, Jazz, and sermons. Ok, so there's no real coherent theme there. In front … Continue reading I Need a Shower
Do we know which Old Testament Laws apply to Christians? It's a good question. We know the legalistic rules no longer apply - I was just reading 1 Corinthians 7:17-20 today while studying how we are to bloom where we are planted, and Paul is clear that "Keeping God's commands is what counts" but he … Continue reading Old Testament Laws
God spoke the universe into existence. Everything is made for His glory, including us. Something interesting a Christian friend shared with me this week. At the far edges of the universe, about as far as we can see, is the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51). It's 23 million light years away. Here's a photo from the Hubble … Continue reading God is in the Big Things, God is in the Small Things
Christian Carnival CLX is up and rarin' to go at Crossroads - Where Faith and Inquiry Meet.
Christian Carnival #152 is now up at thoughtsofagyrovague.com . No really. That's the name of the website.
Are we up to #158 already? Something doesn't quite seem right. Anyway, the next Christian Carnival is up at the Participatory Bible Study Blog. See if you can find the Chasing the Wind article, then click it and see if you come back here. It would amuse me, anyway. 🙂
But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ's triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are an … Continue reading Daily Manna – 2 Corinthians 2:14-17
The latest Christian Carnival is up at Parableman. Always a source of refreshing Christian posts, and I like this group so much I've volunteered to host it here at Chasing the Wind on February 28th.
Whatever happens, as citizens of heaven live in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together with one accord for the faith of the gospel without being … Continue reading Daily Manna – Philippians 1:27-29
Beliefnet has setup a "Holiday Culture Wars Blog" that makes for some interesting reading. From a Christian perspective, they've highlighted television shows with sexually-explicit lyrics set to Christmas music, obscene art that is "rife with Christmas-themed debauchery," and how Christmas has become so secularized to the point where atheists "unhesitatingly wish everyone a Merry Christmas." … Continue reading Holiday Culture Wars
"No matter what, you can overcome your past," he said. "With help, if you look to God, you can overcome your past and be reborn." I learn something new every day. Did you know Sylvester Stallone is a born-again Christian?
From Drudge: Sir Elton John wants religion banned completely -- because he believes it promotes hatred of gays. Speaking to the Observer Music Monthly Magazine the singer said religion lacked compassion and turned people into "hateful lemmings". The PRESS ASSOCIATION reports: In a candid interview for a dedicated Gay issue of the magazine he shared … Continue reading Elton John Would Ban Religion Completely
When I hear of mission groups reaching out to Americans, I know there's a need. While most people believe in God, I don't think most believe know why they believe in God or why that should be important to them. This latest poll on American's views on God show what I mean. Among the various … Continue reading Domestic Evangelism
I've never seen so many news stories trumpeting the Democrats winning one or both seats of congress. Tonight, CNN was saying how great it was to have a divided Congress, or a President in one party and the Congress in another. The media is trying to brainwash the American people into believing this is a … Continue reading So Much Liberal Media Today
Facing the Giants was a wonderful surprise movie this afternoon. I just don't know why I hadn't heard of it before this week. It's the story of a small Christian school's football team, and their triumph over defeat by placing their trust in God instead of man. So many wonderful Christian examples of how to … Continue reading Facing the Giants
For the rest of this year, our bible class will be deep into the Book of Hebrews. Most scholars believe the Book of Hebrews was written by Paul to the early Christians who had converted from Judaism, and we'll find excellent instruction these next few months on what Christian living is all about. So, let's … Continue reading Pay Attention
Yesterday, the news reports that medieval copy of the partial Psalms was found in an Irish bog. Interestingly, : "The book was found open to a page describing, in Latin script, Psalm 83, in which God hears complaints of other nations' attempts to wipe out the name of Israel." - (hat tip Atlasshrugs) Lets read … Continue reading Psalms, Irish bogs, Protestants and Israel
Sort of like combining Stephen King and C.S. Lewis. "House: The Only Way Out is In" (WestBow Press) is a very suspenseful and intense novel by Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker. In fact, it's so intense, I cannot in good conscience recommend this to kids or to the squeamish. The entire first half of the … Continue reading Review: House
This week's best Christian blogging is hosted at Christian Carnival 130.
Did you see Superman Returns? I saw it twice; I had read little snippets that there was significant Christian symbology in it, but it was much more obvious to me when I saw the movie. Warning, spoilers below, so don't click if you don't want to know: Jur-El telling his son Kal-El that he's sending … Continue reading Superman Returns
This week's best Christian blogging is up at Christian Carnival 129.
This book is a companion guide to The DaVinci Code trash that Dan Brown inflicted upon us. Dan Brown claims simultaneously that his book is both factual and fiction, enabling him to attack the Catholic Church and Christians and hide behind the "fiction" when the heat is on. Many don't know that even many of … Continue reading Review: The Da Vinci Codebreaker

Sex. Mystery. Intrigue. When fiction includes topic like sex, you just know it's going to be good. Presumed Guilty by author James Scott Bell and published by Zondervan tracks the fall of a minister, Ron Hamilton, as his good works switch from glorifying God to glorifying himself. His own self of self-esteem and his own … Continue reading Review: Presumed Guilty
