About

The Blog: I created this blog to encourage and call out those desiring to know, broach, and discuss, from a Christian perspective, the world’s worldviews, both generally and specifically.

Author: I’m Given Hoffman, a 29 yr. old homeschool graduate, past attendee of Worldview Academy, Craftsman graduate of the Jerry B. Jenkins Christian Writers Guild, and alumni of Ellerslie Bible School. I’m from Minnesota and am second youngest out of five kids. I write fiction for young adults that is fast-paced, realistic, and thought-provoking. I intentionally incorporate my Christian worldview into my fiction and use stories to teach God’s truths. I read lots, and have been blogging here since 2012. There is lots on the site. Please explore and, if you want, leave a suggestion or question on my Suggestion Page. I would love to hear from you.

The Blog Title: I acquired my title from Luke 19: 36-40 where Jesus Christ is headed toward Jerusalem and people are praising His name and the religious leaders call to Him, telling Him to rebuke His disciples for their praise. Jesus answers the religious leaders with this, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.”  I will leave the title’s implication to your own inference. (The full passage in Luke is below)

  1. Luke 19: 36-40 And as He went, [many] spread their clothes on the road. Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen, ” ‘Blessed [is] the King who comes in the name of the LORD!’ Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.” But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.”

    I finally got around to checking out your blog. I really like it and will definitely check it out more often. I will be directing my teens to it as well. Keep speaking out! We need more brave Christians not afraid to confront the culture we live in.
