This morning's #HaveFaith guest loved Cornwall so much, she stayed forever!
@yardleysarah is joining @radioMelO after 8 to talk about how Cornwall's Creation Fest brought her all the way over from California!
Tune into Mel for more📻
A joy to see dear friend @davidguzik quoted this morning @EmmRd Aldershot campus.
10. The Reckless Way of Love: Notes on Following Jesus by Dorothy Day
"It is a terrible thought – “we love God as much as the one we love the least.'"
Happy reading - please comment your recent must-reads!
8. Babel by R. F. Kuang
Provocative, trippy, vocabulary-dense fiction on Oxford, finding home, and the words that make our world.
9. How to Stay Married: The Most Insane Love Story Ever Told by Harrison Scott Key
Genuinely an insane love story. Comedic, honest, raw, brutal.
6. The Genesis of Gender by Abigail Favale
A provocative, fascinating read. Helped me reframe a few key ideas.
7. Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara
Absolutely brilliant. Inspiring and practical and fascinating.
4. How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu
Trippy apocalyptic sci-fi, if you're into that kind of thing.
5. The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese
Some of the most beautiful, moving fiction I've read in a long time. Thanks @tylercstaton.
2. The Preaching Life by Barbara Brown Taylor
Iconic wisdom from an iconic preacher. Made me fall in love with preaching all over again.
3. This Ragged Grace by Octavia Bright
Brilliant memoir with stunning ideas throughout. Tender and honest.
1. The Second Mountain by David Brooks
Book of the year. The best compliment I can give it is that I spent eight months going through it slowly.
I LOVE to read. Obsessed. I always want to be learning, growing, stretching my mind and soul. Here are a ten of my best reads in 2024.
If all that happens during my sabbatical is that I deepen in tenderness and wonder, it will be (more than) enough.
Thankful to spend October reading through ten years of journals, hiking 300 miles on the coast, remembering not to isolate myself in the questions,

I too give thanks today for my friend and brother Paul and all he was and gave - and pray for all those who still grieve for him.

Is there any worthwhile British academic engagement with Center Church by Tim Keller?
I'm particularly intrigued about a conversation on his city model contrasted with the Anglican parish model.
So long, September.
(so many stories stretching my heart)
The cold crept in this week, seeping into rainy days, crisp nights, grey skies. There is a beauty to the seasons, to the letting go, to the endings.
And in my endings, the kindness of Jesus around every corner; ten days with my nieces and nephew to be reminded of the wild love of children, surprise reunions with international visitors, elegant unexpected transit meals in London,
I'll spend my whole life keeping in step with the Lord,
Knowing Him is my great joy.
Even when I am weak, I will not fall,
His love is holding my hand.
Psalm 37:23-24, paraphrased
