I think about my daughter now. She is sweet and innocent. She loves her daddy. I am the man in her life.

I have a question for teachers, preachers, pastors, deacons of this great community. If there was no NIV or King James could we still have BIBLE Study? This message is for the bible scholars and the word…

All her life, the archetypal hero and his journey have enthralled Darby Karchut. A native of New Mexico, Darby grew up in a family that venerated books and she spent her childhood devouring one fantasy novel after another. Fascinated by mythologies from around the world, she attended the University of New Mexico, graduating with a degree in anthropology.

Drawing from her extensive…
