Andrew Peterson – You’ll Find Your Way

by

The other night my wife and I were able to hear Andrew Peterson at the TruthXChange conference. I was so glad that he played You'll Find Your Way, from his new album Light for the Lost Boy.  It's a song many parents can relate to. Andrew wrote it for his son when he turned 13, basing it on Jeremiah 6:16:  "Thus says the LORD: 'Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.'" … [Read more...] about Andrew Peterson – You’ll Find Your Way

Jean Twenge on White Horse Inn

by

Michael Horton talks to Dr. Jean Twenge about her fascinating book The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement and her previous book Generation Me: Why Today's Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled--and More Miserable Than Ever Before. Dr. Twenge quotes a study that found one third of all college students think they deserve a B if they show up to class. And two thirds of students thinks that if they try hard, a professor should increase their grade. Both of Dr. Twenge's books were very helpful to me as I wrote Thriving at College.   … [Read more...] about Jean Twenge on White Horse Inn
