If you are a Christian who loves poems and novels and essays, no event compares to the Festival of Faith and Writing. Calvin College gathers faithful writers from around the country to give readings, lectures, and interviews. Sarah and I took off school last spring to drive to Grand Rapids and hear our beloved poets, Scott Cairns and Christian Wiman, favored novelists, Tobias Wolf and Paul Harding, and admired theologians, Wesley Hill and James K.A. Smith read and discuss their work. The Wurm family raised daughters who live boldly, and Sarah, despite being a Collister, is no exception. Against my protestations and anxieties, she introduced us to each of these writers.
