Literature (195)
  1. Fairy tales are but one chapter in the book we call storytelling. We may prefer reading other kinds of stories (mystery, science fiction, and so on).
  2. Not long ago I was having a conversation with a friend. She was facing a big decision about her career with a deadline looming for a decision.
  3. I love books. I love authors. I love the way putting words down on paper incarnates ideas that might otherwise remain ghosts of the mind, flitting here and there in our gray matter.
  4. Before long I was deeply involved in the trilogy (the reader is invariably "drawn into" the story in a unique way, and for a good reason as we shall see).
  5. Warning, Remember, O man, that thou art dust… And lust, he mocks in mute self-condemnation.
  6. As it turned out, the novels in which I had sought escape, became part of the means whereby the Lord rescued me from my own death.
  7. With but a donkey's jawbone He whacked a thousand men And iced yet even more
  8. As God is prone to do, He sometimes shows us who He is through people whom we would never think of as teachers, much less imitators of God.
  9. Over time, any inclination the cupbearer might have to speak a good word to Pharaoh on Joseph’s behalf will seem less and less of a moral necessity.
  10. I pray Thy name be hallowed, Lord, But want my name to be adored.
  11. This week’s show is a Wasteland Companion episode- that is, a show where we take a book and walk through its themes, history, big ideas, etc… You need not have ANY prior knowledge of the book to listen. If you do, hopefully this can jog some memories. We chose to talk about the brothers Karamazov because we both believe it to contain some of the more gut wrenching and savage attacks on human nature and God.
