A Place of Safety: a review of the documentary Nanking
Denis Haack
Nanking is not an entertaining film, though well made and utterly enthralling. It reminds us that the brokenness that plagues God’s world is an evil that resides deep in the human heart.

A Very Lovely, Sad Longing
Denis Haack
In the liner notes of her latest album, All I Intended to Be, Emmylou Harris writes that all she ever intended was to be “a singer of songs, a writer of songs, and a strummer of a few chords, in search of the truth.” I’d say she’s been faithful to that calling, and our lives are richer as a result.

Denis Haack
"...as a Christian, I defend horror films. No other genre offers audiences a more spiritual view of the world, and no other genre communicates a more clearly defined moral perspective.”

Sound bites for Jesus: Discernment Exercise
Denis Haack
Bumper stickers and rear-window decals seem to be an enduring form of communication in our sound-bite world. Even friends who say they don’t like them and won’t put one on their own car readily admit to reading the ones they see on other cars.
