Want to get an early glimpse of Josiah DeGraaf, Writer's first novel?

A Study of Shattered Spells marks Josiah DeGraaf’s debut fantasy performance. The project fundraiser proved a 2025 hit, prompting Kickstarter to recognize this as a Project We Love.

Slice-of-life scenes with teachers and student drama immerse readers in this familiar fantasy setting, sometimes slow-paced, then shifting tempo for often surprising modern language and tensions.

Emil’s complex movements quickly rise in intensity, forcing Kalina to adapt until this relational duet moves to center stage.

How can a teacher deal with such a troubled yet narcissistic student? Especially when all know Emil is prophesied to sacrifice his life and save the nation?

Do you believe in magic?

Some pagans hope you do.

Does this mean Christians must reject occult evils *and* all fictional magic?

Thou shalt not miss Marian A. Jacobs on last week's Fantastical Truth episode from Lorehaven . We have long looked forward to her new nonfiction ON MAGIC AND MIRACLES.

Come sit a spell and explore:

1. Why our holy God in the Bible really forbids occult magic and why!
2. How some Christians confuse actual evil magic with fictional magic.
3. Why occult magic really is evil and leads its victims to sin and shame
4. Why the church of Christian readers *needs* stories with fictional magic
5. How come this topic isn't just “for the kids” but for all faithful Christians
6. Why we need emphasis on biblical discernment: truth over traditions
7. Why some Christian warnings about magic can themselves be mystical!

Today it appears cooler heads have cancelled the apocalypse.

But were we really in that level of danger?

This sense of dread feels new. But as C. S. Lewis once wrote, we must practice timeless wisdom when we’re living in an atomic age:

“If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts.”

Here and elsewhere, how does Lewis encourage us in the art of living and learning in wartime? Seek ye today's solo show from on our Fantastical Truth podcast!

✨️MAGIC. The very word feels like a curse to many good Christians.

Add other terms like "witch" or "wizard" and you’ll get an even more heated cauldron of controversy.

We’re no strangers to that at Lorehaven. Now our longtime friend Marian A. Jacobs has created the definitive book treatment of this topic. This week, On Magic and Miracles is cast into the world, and Marian A. Jacobs herself Apparates into our studio to compare fictional magic with occult dangers.

Jesus told many parables, some even fantastical. Yet some Christians presume these parables are simple allegories.

Is this really the point of parables?

Or do they reflect biblical truths in more meaningful ways?

In this week's new Fantastical Truth episode, we’re inviting Cru ministry creatives Perry Wilson and Landon Hawley, who’ve made a new audio drama, inspired by the parable of the prodigal son, called The Road to Kaeluma.

In this week's new Fantastical Truth episode, we’re inviting Cru ministry creatives Perry Wilson and Landon Hawley, who’ve made a new audio drama, inspired by the parable of the prodigal son, called The Road to Kaeluma.

We’ll explore questions like: What are fantastical parables? And how do they prepare us for conversations about family relationships, the gospel, and the love of our heavenly Father?

'Tis hard to find good fatherly help.

If you had one, rejoice in this gift.

And if your dad was mixed at best, well, you may especially enjoy the stories about bad(?) men with rough jobs who still fight to be heroes.

This week E. Stephen Burnett and Zack Russell invited Dan Daetz onto our Fantastical Truth podcast to talk flying machines and the challenges of hard heroism.
