Met today with one of the illustrators for my new book, Kearstin Safford. I gave her the task of creating images that feel like they're out of 1940s children's book—and love what she did. GREAT ESCAPE comes out this December and is now up for pre-order. amazon.com/Great-Escape-Refl…

When people roll their eyes at you for taking fairytales and stories really seriously, they’re neglecting how reality shapes fiction, and then fiction enters reality in a cyclical fashion. Man motivated by Catholicism, writes fantasy, future Pope cites in church canon 🔄 so cool

As @therileyguy and I finished our new book for @GeekyStoics we felt lost searching for the ultimate conclusion. @JeremyDBoreing pretty much said the words today. Identity matters. Who and what are you? Imago Dei. Your answer will shape your life. Douglas Steere used to say: "Who am I?" leads inevitably to the equally important question… "Whose am I?"...for there is no selfhood outside of relationship.

Yes because planes can be replaced. “I will never leave a fallen comrade” is fundamental to the warrior ethos. It’s part of what should be an unbreakable bond between a warrior and the nation he or she serves.
