….Eric Reitan’s book “Is God a Delusion?” is awesome!!!!  Choice magazine just named it ‘academic book of the year.’ Of course all the Deacons remember his amazing appearance on the HBC podcast, but little did we know just how many librarians were Deacons.  That is good news to me because I absolutely loved getting to [...]
