Welcome to our humble little show. Glad you stopped by. In today’s episode we look at a work by Thomas Sowell called Conflict of Visions. This isn’t an easy read but it has proven to be a very important work by Dr Sowell that we believe can be very helpful. We hope that you were helped by the book and by our subsequent discussion.

Well hey everybody. We are finally back with a new episode. Today we are looking at Abraham Heschel’s book Sabbath. In this book he explores the idea of Sabbath from a hebraic perspective. We think this can be a helpful book as we think through this theme that we find from Genesis 1 all the way through the end of the Scriptures.

Whats up everybody, happy weekend from the Supplementalists. We must have a thing for stories that don’t have a happy ending here at the Supplementalist. This week Paul Jamie and Steve are looking at a poignant and tragic story by John Steinbeck called The Pearl. There is a lot to think about and wrestle with in this short novel and we hope it was thought provoking and our conversation helpful.
