“I Don’t Care About Being Right Anymore” (by Marshall Pickard)

Alright, confession time. As I recently boarded a plane to Italy, I began reading Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code… I know, I know. As a pre-teen evangelical, I promised myself I would never commit the cardinal sin of reading such a blasphemous book. But I mistakenly thought it was set in Rome (not Paris), […]
