Café Cook
A place to grab a cup of coffee and among other things, browse articles and videos of possible interest to Christians whose calling is be a part of the academic world.
It is also a place (much lower on this page), to archive the contents of Connections Review's Café Cook beginning with Issue #8ff, when we first started including it.
