  • Review: Exit West, by Mohsin Hamid (Penguin Books)

    Review: Exit West, by Mohsin Hamid (Penguin Books)

    From start to finish, the book reads like the rehearsed voice of a news reporter. It’s as if the author is telling you the story in real-time with little backstory or context. You do your best to weave the story together with the pieces you have, with what’s happening right now, but without details of Read more

  • Review: On the Block, by Doug Logan (Moody Publishers)

    Review: On the Block, by Doug Logan (Moody Publishers)

Whisper unfortunately does not deny that looking crazy is one of the outcomes of a lifestyle in communion with God: Faith is Read more

  • Leon’s Lawn

    Leon’s Lawn

    It was the drought of 1999 Leon wasn’t much of a gardener. Plastic flowers thrust into the soil were proof. But his lawn was his pride. He mowed that lawn once a week, every Thursday at 6 pm, and watered it every day. It was the best lawn  in the neighborhood. Then came the mandatory Read more
