  • Religion
May 22, 2019May 19, 2020
Author: Howard Ahmanson

Author: Howard Ahmanson

Early in my Christian life I was struck by a fascinating quote in C. S. Lewis’ Screwtape Letter #21.  On the sin of peevishness, he wrote, Men are not angered by mere misfortune but by misfortune conceived as injury.  And […]
