It took me several chapters to feel invested, but now I wish I could read it all day!

“Duty on earth, restitution on earth, action on earth; these first, as the first steep steps upward. Strait was the gate and narrow was the way; far straiter and narrower than the broad high road paved with vain professions and vain repetitions, motes from other men's eyes and liberal delivery of others to the judgment--all cheap materials costing absolutely nothing.”

This will be my fourth time reading this one, but the last time was in 2020 so definitely due for a re-read. By far the best modern novel I’ve ever read.

This is my fourth time reading this book, but my first time actually reading it in print instead of listening to the amazing recording by Nadia May. Looking forward to sitting with the text longer and being able to think a little more deeply and pause along the way.

“It is no small part of education to have seen much beauty, to recognize it when we see it, and to keep ourselves humble in its presence.”

So much good in this book.

I’ve read this one a couple times, but this is the first time reading it with the kids. Can’t wait to see it through their eyes!

Going to attempt to tackle this one again. Made it about 80% in 2020 and just felt utterly lost. Hoping I’ve become a lot smarter in two years.

Reading aloud with the kids as a part of our study of the Reformation and persecutions that followed.

Reading with the kids. Have only finished ch1 so far but have already had great discussions.
