Book Review: Son of Osivirius

Book review for Son of Osivirius, by Cathryn deVries. Three words: giant flying cats. A clean dystopian romantic science fantasy action adventure, Son of Osivirius shows the clash between control and harmony on a planet where continued "upward growth and prosperity" comes at the cost of balance with nature.

Is it Okay for Christians to Read Harry Potter?

Harry Potter has caused controversy in the Christian community for almost three decades, but why? This deep dive is based on my own experience as a reader and accompanied by research done by Marian A. Jacobs in On Magic & Miracles: A Theological Guide to Discerning Fictional Magic, reviewed in episode 14. This episode is for anyone who has worried that the Harry Potter series might lead them or their children into occult practices.
