Becoming a Christian is a glorious thing. Figuring out what being a Christian means in everyday life can be a bit daunting.

Tyndale House Publishers had the opportunity to partner with a Texas bookstore called Flint Gypsy, which frequently holds Bible-journaling activities, for their Journaling Under the Bridge event in Tyler’s tent city on Saturday.
