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 📚

Very mixed feelings and not what I expected. I didn’t like the style of writing nor how self centred it was, plus some of the insights feel very cliche especially for millennials post 2008. At the same time, there were some great prompts and really interesting sources cited. My personal opinion is read the books in the bibliography instead.

Finished reading: The Pathless Path by Paul Millerd 📚

Finished reading: Same as Ever by Morgan Housel 📚listened on a car journey. Good idea, bit repetitive. Some interesting points to meditate on.

Finished reading: Bearing God’s Name by Carmen Joy Imes 📚 Dispensationalists will not like this. I wasn’t expecting such a detailed exploration of continuity/discontinuity of the covenant but I was glad for it. I plan on rereading some of those final chapters as she explored the issues I find most challenging but I’m still not certain of her conclusions.

Currently reading: Bearing God’s Name by Carmen Joy Imes 📚 Currently at the third chapter and enjoying it a lot. Dr. Imes is a very witty writer and has some great insights.

Finished reading: Digital Liturgies by Samuel James 📚 good, probably even very good but not as good as the hype. I want to reread some sections.

Finished reading: Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon 📚 Read it again for some creative inspiration (and to help juice my reading numbers for the year).
