I’m still on book tour in Britain, so no Zoom call this Friday. We’ll be back to our normal schedule next week. I’ll be speaking in London tonight (June 15). Later this week, I’ll be sharing with paid subscribers a recent conversation I had with Andile Zulu, a political writer at the AIDC based in South Africa.

How do you maintain your faith in God in the midst of so much suffering?
