Farenhorst at Her Best!

​

A pillar of Calvinism is that all of life is religion. For the believer, there are no parts that are neutral, let alone secular. But crossword puzzles? You’ve got to be kidding, right? Truth is, in these interesting, challenging and delightful puzzles by a celebrated author and Christian Renewal contributor, you will certainly discover a distinctive worldview for the renewal of the mind, and even a bit of levity for the heart.

 

​

Why do I like crossword puzzles from Christine Farenhorst? It is the variety of the clues. There are historical and contemporaneous references, there are clues from different languages (including from what I hear, the language of heaven – Dutch), biblical references, and my favorites, puns. Who knew a wet panda was a “drizzly bear?” And that Humpty Dumpty had a great fall just to make up  for a  “lousy” summer? So, enjoy the puzzles! And if you love someone – I mean really, really love them – you know what to do.
