From national political correspondent Harvest Prude, who wrote today’s books column on politics: When I first became a political reporter, I began to wish I’d gone even deeper into American history while in school. I felt the need to dive into the political twists and turns of the past century to be able to make sense of the present political moment. To that end, I decided to undertake my own crash course into American presidents. |
|
I began to read presidential biographies. I tackled them in no particular order, based more on when they’d become available on my library app, and often when commuting to the Hill I’d turn on the audiobook versions. That’s how I got better acquainted with not only the personalities and policies of the men who helmed the White House over the past few decades, but also with the attending domestic and foreign crises that they and the country navigated. |
|
Now that I’ve started regularly reviewing politics and policy books for CT, I’m doubly grateful for that extracurricular course. While each column starts with new titles that have only recently or will soon be hitting the shelves and may be of interest to CT’s readers, our editors and columnists also pull older titles from their personal library. |
|
Writing the books column has also reminded me of the presidents I haven’t gotten to (of which there are plenty!), so I’ve recently begun adding more biographies and other political works to my library wishlist. |

Throughout Scripture, God calls his people to be faithful and steadfast as we abide in him. Isaiah reminds us our faithfulness is fleeting "like the flowers of the field," yet our hope is secure when we place it in God, so our strength is renewed (Isa. 40:6, 31). In this issue, we consider stories of resilience. Historian Thomas S. Kidd shares missionary Adoniram Judson’s hardship and fortitude in Burma (now Myanmar). Emily Belz reports on Minnesota churches today that are supporting persecuted Karen Christians, also from Myanmar. Haleluya Hadero reports on groups who are determined to help Gary, Indiana, achieve a more resilient future. We also consider Tish Harrison Warren’s new book and feature an interview with her. Rooted in the person of Jesus Christ, Christian resilience is about more than having grit or bouncing back. |
