Finished reading: Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall B. Rosenberg ๐ A lot to think about from this one. My wife had introduced me to some of the ideas already.
Finished reading: The Narrow Path by Rich Villodas ๐
A good popular look at the sermon on the mount. I really like his examples and relating it to culture and psychological principles.
Finished reading: The Matrix of Christian Ethics by Patrick Nullens ๐great overview of different ethical frameworks and how they apply to Christian ethics. I really appreciated his explanation of Max Schelerโs value ethics, something which had confused me in other writings.
Finished reading: Digital Zettelkasten by David Kadavy ๐ Short but some nice ideas and reminders.
Currently reading: Kingdom Ethics, 2nd ed. by David P. Gushee ๐
Finished reading: An Introduction to Christian Ethics by Robin W. Lovin ๐
First required reading for my Christian ethics class. Great introduction and left me reflecting on which stance I naturally gravitate towards. I can see elements of each emphasised at different times in my life. I think now โintegrityโ seems to be my main mindset.
Finished reading: Prayer by Stanley James Grenz ๐
A short practical and theoretical book on prayer. It seems this might be where the ACTS acronym comes from! Highly recommend.
Finished reading: Slow Productivity by Cal Newport ๐
Some really good ideas that Iโve implemented and feel good about (early days of course). I want to revisit the other points and see what other practical changes i can make.

Finished reading: The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt ๐
Well argued, I still wonder what role economic anxiety has affected teens (via parents?) but social media and smart phones have definitely played their role. The actions seem reasonable, but politically difficult too.
