Christians will find here much wrestle with, much to learn from, and much worth submitting the mind to. ![]() This background establishes Athanasius' work as a basic required text for understanding the Christian tradition for liturgical, theological, and individual reasons. ![]() Though ratified by the Nicean council, Athanasius' views cost him dearly and yet the orthodox position has held sway in church history. On the Incarnation, though completed before the full force of the Arian controversy over the Trinity was felt, provided the first major theological articulation of the doctrine of the incarnation and defense of orthodox trinitarianism. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "Tyler has proved again and again that a chronicle of middle-class family life in Baltimore can illuminate the human condition as acutely as any novel of ideas, albeit with a more modest demeanor. "Anne Tyler's novels are invitations to spend time in the houses of the Baltimore neighborhood that she has built-house by house, block by block, word by word-over her long and bright career." -Francine Prose, The New York Review of Books She's a comic novelist, and a wise one." - New York Times Book Review Her great gift is playing against the American dream, the dark side of which is the falsehood at its heart: that given hard work and good intentions, any family can attain the Norman Rockwell ideal of happiness. Tyler has a knack for turning sitcom situations into something far deeper and more moving. Quintessential Anne Tyler, as well as quintessential American comedy. ![]() ![]() She’s weak and petty, I just wanted to slap some sense into her. Letting the readers own imagination provide reasons and motivations without certainty is a tool I appreciate in horror and Ward does this brilliantly, particularly throughout the telling of Sundial history a strange, secluded commune with a sinister secret. ![]() The desolate, desert commune setting enhances the feeling that something inevitable is happening something evil. A continuous sense of impending horror, almost cosmic. There’s a thick atmosphere of dread within Sundial. When Rob discovers daughter Callie’s deranged and violent tendencies she takes her eldest child on a trip to her abandoned family home and shares the story of her past in a mother-daughter bonding she hopes will protect her children. ![]() And Callie is beginning to wonder if only one of them will leave Sundial alive.īe warned there is frequent animal cruelty in Sundial, I paused to hug my pup on multiple occasions!

Interspersed with her narrative, in her usual style, is a lot of information, statistics, science, that only Kingsolver can make enjoyable to read. ![]() She takes us through a year, talking about planting, raising turkeys and chickens, describing holiday gatherings, sharing (with husband and daughter helping) recipes and practical tips for things like canning, etc. But Kingsolver makes strong arguments for how screwed up our food system is, how much we're just short-changing ourselves, as individuals and as a human race, and how worth it it would be to start making at least some changes. I admire her for doing what I only think about doing, and even then, can hardly seriously see myself considering. Kingsolver and her family set out to try to eat locally, raising most of their own food, and staying away from, as much as possible, processed food, meat from animals raised in poor conditions, food shipped from far away, eaten out of season, etc. But maybe it just isn't the type of book to be read quickly from cover to cover. However, it took me a long time to get through this one. ![]() I've read all of Kingsolver's books, and I love her writing style. This week I finished reading Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. ![]() ![]() ![]() There's something deeply unsettling about The Magpies-and that's exactly as it should be." -Elizabeth Haynes, author of Into the Darkest Corner Edwards takes the places that should feel safe and subverts them, shifting the ground beneath our feet, until we're left clinging to the book, hoping against hope for a positive conclusion. "Mark Edwards achieves what other writers yearn for, by creating characters that genuinely feel like real people, individuals you know personally-and then puts them into the scariest of situations so that we cannot help but suffer with them. It is a nightmare that could happen to anyone. The Magpies is a gripping psychological thriller in which the monsters are not vampires or demons but the people who live next door.

The future, in which they plan to get married and start a family, is bright. When Jamie and Kirsty move into their first home together, they are full of optimism. Meet the neighbors from hell, in the gripping thriller that reviewers and readers describe as "fast-paced," "chilling," and "impossible to put down." ![]() ![]() ![]() In modern times, the South is misunderstood as a backwards land, completely separate from the moral fabric of modern society. I love the sensitivity and reality that Grisham paints the South with. ![]() Additionally, the Smallwood subplot did not feel fully resolved at the time of the book’s completion. This was a disappointment, yet, a validation of reality. Something must be paid for, as the society would not let things go otherwise. After all of the build up, I knew he couldn’t let the boy go free. The core moral quandary of this book would absolutely cleave a town’s morality in two. Growing up in Texas and in the Christian Bible Belt community, Grisham portrary, with sensitivity and accuracy, the attitudes that you’d find. In the case of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series, him graphically killing off the main party’s small animal companion caused me to put down the book entirely. ![]() ![]() Uniquely, I like suspenseful plots, but too much suspense or grit can cause me to put a book down. This novel, as with the first, catered to my taste for drama. This is the second novel I’ve read by him, the first being A Time to Kill. I’ve just finished A Time for Mercy by John Grisham. ![]() |
