Reading for the umpteenth time. This book encourages me so much and helps me to turn to Jesus over and over and over.

My favourite in the series. I love Aslan. ❤️

Listening to this is unbearable. I am simultaneously riveted and devastated.

The introduction itself deserves five stars.

“God gives to a wise man the gift of watching, with a pious and grateful chuckle, one damn thing after another.”

“All things considered, the furious activity of this world is about as meaningful as the half-time frenzy at the Super Bowl. But a wise man can be there and enjoy himself. This is the gift of God.”

My first Russian play. Very hopeless.

I really enjoyed this book - very readable. I do love me a memoir! His concept of “Luxury Beliefs” is very interesting and compelling - those ideas and opinions that give status to the upper class but are costly to the lower class (drug legalisation, gender ideologies, throwing away of sexual ethics, police defunding, etc.)

Beautiful and rich and layered. Listen to the audiobook - Kellie Martin’s narration is stunning.

This woman speaks my language. One chapter in and I want to highlight the whole dang thing.

I have “picked” Cindy as my own personal Titus 2 mentor. (Hi Cindy, if you’re reading this!)

You know that get-to-know-you question, “If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?”

My answer will always be Cindy Rollins!

To have loved alone will not suffice Unless we also have been wise And have our loves enjoyed. —Sir John Suckling

Fun read aloud with the kids to coincide with our current study of volcanoes.

"Go back?" he thought. "No good at all! Go sideways! Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!"

Wow wow wow wow wow! This book is now part of me.

Reading aloud to the kids in honour of Halloween-month. :)

Reading it again within the space of just a few months. That’s how well this book points us to Jesus.
