This woman sounds like what we need today. I'm afraid the typical church has become far too self-centered, narrow, and--in the minds many thinking people--irrelevant. Some prominent churches, even ostensible evangelical, have become the current equivalent of what Jesus called dens of thieves. It may take other agencies, to a considerable extent-- like Zondervan-- to show what kind of Christian testimony is effective in the 21st Century. If Zondervan does great work, it shows that the Murdochs of this world can be God's instrument. Best wishes for your success, Moe, from a fellow student of Koine Greek.

I enjoyed learning about Mrs. Girkins. It sounds like she is still situated in the western suburbs of Chicago, but Zondervan's headquarters is in Grand Rapids - so I wondered how that works.
