A good four years ago in Spiritual Formation: Just Say No I warned that, with an assist from his spiritual twin Dallas […]

Apprising Ministries wonders how followers of Islam, “the religion of peace,” are going to react to this: A French weekly known for publishing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad to the ire of conservative Muslims said Sunday it plans to release a comic book biography of Islam’s founder that will be researched and educational.
