Atlanta author to speak at Barnes & Noble

ATLANTA -- Atlanta-based writer Jonathan Merritt will host a talk and book signing at the Emory University Barnes & Noble next week.

Merritt will discuss his new book, A Faith of Our Own: Following Jesus Beyond the Culture Wars. According to Barnes & Noble:

A Faith of Our Own explores the changing face of American Christianity by examining the coming of age of a new generation of Christians, a generation that wants to influence American culture but is disenchanted with a faith that has become culturally antagonistic and too closely aligned with partisan politics.

Learn more about Merritt, who received his Master of Theology from Emory's Candler School of Theology, at jonathanmerritt.com.

The talk will be held at 6 p.m. on Friday, May 4. Barnes & Noble at Emory is located at 1390 Oxford Road.

Chick-fil-A to host mother-son 'Date Knight'

ATLANTA -- All of the Chick-fil-A restaurants in metro Atlanta will host a special mother-son Date Knight on Saturday, Apr. 28.

The Date Knight format will be similar to that of the franchise's massively popular Daddy-Daughter Date Nights. It will give mothers and sons a special chance to enjoy some quality time together.

The event will have a medieval theme, hence the "Knight" part of its title.

"One of Chick-fil-A's goals is to promote community connections and enrich the lives of everyone we come in contact with," Robin Lomax, Chick-fil-A area marketing director, said in a statement. "We understand the importance of mother-son relationships and want to encourage local moms to come to Chick-fil-A, enjoy their sons' company over a meal and have fun."
