MANY KNEW HER AS the elegant wife and ministry partner of preacher Billy Graham, but Ruth Graham originally planned never to marry --the better to be able to follow in her father's footsteps as a missionary in Asia. At Wheaton College in Illinois, she fell in love with Graham. As her Southern Baptist husband's most trusted adviser, Ruth charmed world leaders and celebrities, grounded Billy when politics tempted him (once kicking him under the table after Lyndon Johnson asked his advice on a running mate), remained a steadfast Presbyterian despite pressure from Billy's powerful friends and wrote...
...home to a bunch of hidden “bests”. But who would have known that Harvard’s Schlesinger Library in the old Radcliffe yard possesses one of the foremost culinary literature collections in the world? Curator and prominent American food historian Barbara Ketcham Wheaton was honored for her development of the Harvard cookbook collection last Saturday at an event, “The Cook’s Oracle,” that featured a predominantly senior crowd. “[Cooking] is a subject that touches every life every day,” said Wheaton...
...volumes of Hurin segments have been published, but to read through them was an ordeal that rivaled the heroes' own epic quest.

While he notes that "we do all our own blood draws because we do not have a service in the area that does blood drawing," he believes that he can do a better physical of his patients at home...

You just see it as a sign of God's blessing," says Edith Blumhofer, director of Wheaton College's Center for the Study of American Evangelicals. Indeed, a last-gasp resistance to this embrace of wealth and comfort can be observed in the current evangelical brawl over whether comfortable megachurches (like Osteen's and Warren's) with pumped-up day-care centers and high-tech amenities represent...
