Around the World in (More Than) 80 Days by Larry Alex Taunton – Book Review
In this book, Mr. Taunton sets out to answer that question. If the many people who had promised to move to another country to flee the problems and oppression of America had actually left, where would they go? Over the course of about 3 months, the author travels to 26 different countries around the world and seeks to evaluate each of these countries by the same standards those who are critical of America would use of the US. The big question is simple, if America isn’t great, is there actually a better alternative out there, especially for Americans?

The Best News!
The Christmas story is essential, but hearing it over and over again can cause us to miss the truth of the Good News that is contained in the story.
