April 23, 2015 by Gary Neal Hansen Leave a Comment

This week I have a guest post on Claudia McFie’s blog down in New Zealand. Claudia became a friend back in 2012 when she posted on her favorite Christian books and included my Kneeling with Giants in her top ten. I found myself in some very fine company.
