Dear Reader,
Normally for paid subscribers, this month’s edition of the Second Drafts podcast is available to all subscribers, free of charge. Not only do I want people to know about Luke Davis’ new church history narratives for younger students, I want to give those who aren’t paid subscribers an opportunity to hear what I’m doing on these podcasts. I hope you’ll listen.
Information on the books is below. For those who have yet to subscribe to Second Drafts, just $5/month gets you full access to past and future podcasts, as well as monthly in-depth book reviews. Decide it’s not worth it? Cancel anytime, no questions asked.
Enjoy the podcast!

A New and Novel Church History Series for Students
In this March edition of the Second Drafts podcast, Peaches and I sit down via the Internet and interview friend and former St. Louis teaching colleague, Luke Davis, about his new church history series, Risen Hope. In addition to discussing the stories and importance of Christian church history (as well as the opportunity and need parents have to do a better job inspiring students—and ourselves—through its study), Luke and I discuss writing in general, what it was like for him growing up as a pastor’s kid, and his recent conversion to Anglicanism.
About Luke
Luke Davis is Bible Department Chairman at Westminster Christian Academy in St. Louis, Missouri, where he teaches Christian ethics and church history. Luke also serves as assisting priest at Church of the Resurrection (part of the Anglican Church of North America) in Chesterfield, Missouri. He is the author of the Cameron Ballack crime novels and an ethics book for high schoolers, Tough Issues, True Hope: A Concise Journey Through Christian Ethics. Luke’s first two volumes of the Risen Hope church history series are Redemption: The Church in Ancient Times and Reign: The Church in the Middle Ages. Luke and his wife, Christi, live with their family in St. Charles, Missouri.
Risen Hope Book Giveaway
Christian Focus Publications has made available two sets of Risen Hope that I’m giving away here at Second Drafts. To be entered for the drawing for one of the two-book sets, listen to the podcast for the name of Luke’s father (no, it’s not Darth Vader), then email the answer and your mailing address to me by midnight (MDT) on Saturday, March 19. Two winners will be randomly selected, and Peaches will send the books out on Monday, March 21.
