S&S Reviews: A Wrinkle in Time (2018) Partial Spoilers

Pilgrim Meets Evangelist

Editor's Note: This is the third post in a series on John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, "Before There Was George Lucas or J.R.R. Tolkien - There was John Bunyan." Read the second post here. In our day there is much discussion around the word “friends,” especially with Facebook and other social media platforms that are everywhere. And we assume we can call many whom we have not even seen for years our friends. But just because we are friends with them on Facebook does that act
