Time Kills All Things: and other pleasant reflections

by Ethan Renoe, Mark Eckel (Foreword)

"A bold, refreshing and insightful collection of essays." Time kills all things, but it also heals all things. Somewhere in the midst of those two—healing and dying—is where this book lives. There is healing in the process of dying. We get sick, we get better, but we will inevitably one day die. Millions are killed in a genocide, but like a gash in your skin, the world comes together to heal that wound. There is pain and then forgiveness. The world is a big place. These essays are struggles to explore the way the world works, and as a consequence, how we should operate within it. How do we heal others? Ourselves? How do we die well? How does time make all things beautiful?These pieces were written between 2012-2019 with a personal, poetic energy which just might help you navigate your own way through this foggy terrarium we call earth. How should Christians function in this funky, gorgeous world which sometimes smells like lavender, and other times makes you sneeze? How do we move these weird bodies we inhabit for the better, and why do we find ourselves droolingly attracted to other peoples’ weird bodies? This collection attempts to tackle these, along with other big (and small) topics, such What’s the scariest prayer you can pray?The great blindness of God, and what He can’t seeAre men terrified of, but starving for affection?How to get over anyone (it really works!)What free doughnuts can teach us about pornHow to impress other people without being a doucheWhy you probably need to dream smallerWhy you shouldn’t wait till marriage ...and more!
