The Radical Reader > Recent Status Updates

With a huge winter storm expected up here in northern Michigan, I’m rather delighted with the prospect of endless reading hours. This story is so good! ❄️✨

Not what I expected, but still an incredible story! 🎉

“Sin is violent lethal rebellion against God; and biblical grace is God’s violent, raw, and bloody response.” - Carl Truman (quoted in this book) 💕

“God really does transform sinners through Jesus Christ. He takes those who have been adulterous in thoughts, words, and actions and instills a love for holiness in them. The Spirit of God takes people battered, bruised, and shamed as a result of their sin and robes them in the splendor of holiness.” ✨💕

I’m working through this book with a class of 15-20ish other young adults. We spent tonight pouring over, discussing, and deliberating on the themes brought up in chapter one.

A great, quick read… but so thought-provoking! ✨

“All the arrows of God are aimed at proud hearts.” - Charles Spurgeon

“The worst sinners cannot erase their likeness to God.” ❤️

I have truly fallen in love with Anna Rose Johnson’s gentle style and lyrical prose. So captivating! 🥰

The Wingfeather Saga meets The Dream Keeper Saga to create this riveting, galactic tale. That’s the best way I know to describe this story. 😂

I told myself that I was going to bed earlier, but that clearly didn’t happen… 🙄😂

Already I am so invested in these characters! Norvia and Elton have stolen my heart! Their struggles are written so well.

“Oh, joy above all joys, to know that you are [Christ’s] everlasting and inalienable inheritance, given to Him by His Father before the earth ever was! Everlasting love will be the pillow for your head tonight.” - Charles Spurgeon

This really hit me tonight. 💕

“When we start with the reality of who God is, it radically transforms what we [as Christians] are to do.” 💕✨

I love her gentle, easy-to-read style! Perfect for evening reading time! 💕

“No one with Christ’s blood on the doorpost of their heart can ever experience hell. God preserves believers - they persevere in faith to the end.” ✨💕

Oh look at that. I didn’t listen to my brain and go to bed at a reasonable time. 🙄

Oh well. ✨😂
