Outrage Alert!

Causes for outrage? You'd better believe it. However, let that anger be righteous and channeled into proper responses like intercession, advocacy of holy solutions (including letters and calls to the relevant people), spreading the word to others, and encouraging individuals who are working for God's truth in these critical culture wars.

The Wild Knights & That Printer of Udell's

“Many of Reagan’s accomplishments, as well as his outlook on life, can be traced back to that dog-eared copy of That Printer of Udell’s.” (John Fund, Senior Editor of the American Spectator and popular National Review columnist)

On Saturday, March 23rd at 10:00 AM, Denny & Claire Hartford will be hosting the latest discussion of the Wild Knight Book Club. This time around it’s a Saturday brunch with bagels, scones, fruit, coffee and tea.

And the book? Harold Bell Wright’s classic novel, That Printer of Udell’s.

Would you like to read (and discuss with friends) the book that made such a profound difference on Ronald Reagan? Of course! So why not plan on joining us Saturday morning, March 23 at 10. RSVPs are required but very easy to do. Call, email, or send us a private message via Facebook.

“I found a role model in that traveling printer whom Harold Bell Wright had brought to life. He set me on a course I’ve tried to follow even unto this day. I shall always be grateful.” (Ronald Reagan, in a letter to Harold B. Wright’s daughter-in-law in 1984.)
