Walter Milancuk's public-school horror story began early, when his son Derrick spent kindergarten in an overcrowded roomful of students who regularly fought in class and cursed the teacher. Milancuk wanted to transfer Derrick, but his salary as a forklift driver couldn't cover private-school tuition. Yet Milancuk found a way out, thanks to Cleveland's pioneering school-voucher program, which granted him close to $1,500 in state funds to help enroll Derrick at St. Stanislaus, a nearby Catholic school. Now Derrick wears a crisp uniform. His reading has improved. And the weekly Mass and Bible study...

And in the B2B league there's no team I have to lose money on every week, as I do with the Eagles, my hometown fave. I'm emotionally incapable of betting against them. I don't think I could have learned these...
Novelist Price obviously wants to believe in Jesus as the true Son of God--and he experienced a strong personal clue as evidence of that belief. But Price suffers from the modern malaise of skepticism, owing in large part to the unproved notion that the Gospels couldn't be actual history because they were composed many years after Jesus died.
