Many ask, Why print?

Simple. Christianity has always had a special relationship with the written word, especially in our understanding of truth and our habits of prayer which require concentration and contemplation.  Sword&Spade offers a bridge back into the world of deep reading and the formation of the mind.

“I’m very impressed. The articles are intelligent and intellectual but also readable. Many of the articles hit home with personal experiences. I really appreciate what you guys are doing and it has been long needed.”
