We at EDN are in a period of reflection and contemplation for the important season of Christmas. Our attention will be on raising certain questions that we invite you to comment on. We will return to our series probing controversial issues on January 4th.
TODAY’S QUESTION: How does Emmanuel, God with us, change our world? Or you?
by Henry Neufeld There are those who wonder why Energion Publications publishes fiction. We do this both with our Christian fiction category, our imprints Enzar Empire Press, and Eucatastrophe Press.
