Finished reading: An Introduction to Christian Ethics by Robin W. Lovin 📚

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 “integrity” seems to be my main mindset.

Finished reading: Prayer by Stanley James Grenz 📚

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 📚

Some really good ideas that I’ve 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 📚

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.

Finished reading: Show Your Work! by Austin Kleon 📚

Reread partially to juice my reading numbers, partially for an easy read to get back into reading but mostly to remember some of the ideas.

Finished reading: A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles 📚 a very enjoyable read. The writing style was fantastic and a very character driven book. I have a writing theory about one character but it would be too spoiler-ish to share in public.

Finished reading: The Divine Conspiracy by Dallas Willard 📚 — I see why people like it so much and I now recognise its influence on many other authors I like.

Started reading while traveling in the UK. Great so far, but I wonder how much I’d appreciate with out my knowledge of Russian culture.

Currently reading: A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles 📚

I’ve tried to read this many times but got stuck near the start for some reason. I’ve made more progress this time and I like it a lot. I see why people like Willard. I will say he is more scholarly than his intro lets on! Currently reading: The Divine Conspiracy by Dallas Willard 📚
