CVB: You mentioned that you’re married. So how did this struggle with anxiety affect your marriage? Caris: I love that question because the anxiety didn’t affect just me. It affected my husband as well. It was hard on him because he had never dealt with anxiety. He’s just not an anxious person and he wanted to fix it. He wanted so badly to save me, to rescue me, and to get rid of the hurt, but he didn’t know how. He didn’t understand. On my end, I was scared that if he found

CVB: Why did you choose to write a book about listening to your kids? Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around? (laughs) Becky Harling: Well, bear in mind, you write to your deepest needs. (laughs) I am a Christian communicator, so I talk a lot, which carries over into my parenting journey. As parents, we are always telling our kids, “Brush your teeth, make your bed, do your homework, blah, blah, blah.” There were two pivotal moments in my parenting journey. One of them w

Military memoirs were the rage in the decades following the Civil War. Some were credible, making a helpful contribution to the history of the war, like the memoirs of William Tecumseh Sherman, James Longstreet, or Philip Sheridan. But many were self-serving vanity pieces that minimized the faults of the commander, embellished his accomplishments, and took potshots at political enemies. Raised by his Methodist mother, Hannah Grant, to carry himself in humility, Ulysses S. Gra

CVB: So this was a major turning point in your life. Your son, Theo Krause, was riding a bike on a Colorado mountain trail, then he dropped into a ravine. Tell us what happened after your received the call? Timothy Krause: Yes. He was biking with three friends on a weekend trip. He was trying to catch up to his friends because he had stopped to take some pictures. They dropped into this ravine down low and were shooting along the path when he lost control of his mountain bike

After reading Victor! The Final Battle of Ulysses S. Grant, David Winters writes: Dr. vB, Very much enjoyed Victor! Thank you for all the effort that went into it. Two questions. In pop culture, Grant has a reputation as a big drinker. If it was mentioned in the book, I missed it. Was this true or false that he had a drinking problem? Secondly, how would you sum up Grant's faith in God? Hi David, Thank you for your encouraging feedback on Victor! I appreciate it. Regarding yo

I know you have a deep interest in history, but what inspired you to write this book? My interest in the final two years in the life of Ulysses S. Grant began sometime in the 1990s when I first viewed The Civil War by Ken Burns. Living in Virginia during those years, I began a tradition of visiting Civil War battlefields and museums that continues to this day. I am grateful to the amazing battlefield guides and expert staff at the numerous museums, national parks, and histori
