Wow! Mind-bending stuff. I like how he breaks down the whole of economics to 1 lesson -- namely, to evaluate an economic policy, you must account for *all* people/groups affected by the policy in the short-term and long-term.

Economics in One Lesson

Nathaniel Fernandes is on page 34 of 208 of The Noonday Devil: Acedia, the Unnamed Evil of Our Times
Pretty good book so far! I didn't know the 8 Wicked Thoughts/Deadly Sins came from the 8 enemies of Israel (Egypt, Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, Jebusites).

Also, the Israelite march out of Egypt (the land of sin) through the Red Sea (the waters of baptism) fighting enemies in the desert (vices in our life) to get to the Promised Land (Heaven) is symbolic for our spiritual life!

Nathaniel Fernandes is on page 35 of 192 of The Fourth Cup: Unveiling the Mystery of the Last Supper and the Cross
Wow! This book is incredibly good in my opinion. It's exposed things I've never really thought about.

- What did Jesus mean by "It is finished"?
- What is the "cup" and "cup of blessing" in the Passover / New Covenant?
- What does the Bible say "worship" is?
- How do participate in the New Covenant? (Hint: the Eucharist!)

So far, the book has only raised these questions but I'm excited to learn the answers :)!!

Had a great explanation of why *not* contraception on pg 26-28! I found it interesting that Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, Knox, and the other Reformers were all fiercely against contraception & all Christian denominations were unified on this issue before 1930.

Definitely a topic that I want to look more into!

One of the most impactful books I've ever read. It's the 2nd time I'm reading it and boy is it better than I remember!

This book is great at boosting my motivation and I feel so energized and ready to take on the world after reading it!

Wow this book is incredibly rich and sooooo hard to put down! I feel like I'm understanding the Last Supper through an ancient Jewish lens.

Before this book, I didn't appreciate how prevalent blood sacrifices were in worship (Jews, Greeks, Romans, Mayans, etc., all had animal sacrifices). I believe this understanding of worship = sacrifice is missing from our modern view & critical to understanding the Last Supper!
