Theologian and writer, Esau McCaulley, is back to talk about his new memoir \\u201cHow Far to the Promised Land: One Black Family\\u2019s Story of Hope and Survival in the American South.\\u201d He says there is grace in learning to tell the complicated facets of his family\\u2019s story, rather than reducing it to a single story about race, poverty, or trauma. McCaulley believes that\\u2019s a lesson we need to apply to America\\u2019s story as well. Also this week, David Brooks writes about the courage and wisdom of three women during World War II. What do their stories tell us about the Christian life today? Plus, why are men thinking so much about the Roman Empire? And a three-legged bear walks into a bar.
