“Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who delights greatly in His commandments.”
Psalm 112:1

In an article in Christianity Today called, “Earnest Hemingway, Tragedy of an Evangelical,” Daniel Pawley wrote: “Few people know it, but both sets of Earnest Hemingway’s grandparents were committed evangelical Christians. In fact, his paternal grandparents were both graduates of Wheaten College and very close friends of D.L. Moody. His maternal grandfather was such a godly patriarchal figure that his grandchildren called him “Abba.” Furthermore, one of Hemingway’s uncles was a missionary to China. Yet Earnest Hemmingway, after leaving his evangelical rearing in Oak Park, Illinois, became the worldwide emblem of the lost generation who said, ‘I live in a vacuum that is as lonely as a radio tube when the batteries are dead and there is no current to plug into’ – and took his own life.”
