✅ The Gospels

Emma Spence is on page 207 of 752 of Providence

“So here we have terrible suffering—the slaughter of the Son of God—in the mind and plan of God before the foundation of the world. …Why? Because *the aim of God in creation and providence is to provide the fullest, clearest, surest display of the greatness of the glory of grace. And that display would be the slaughter of the best being in the universe in the place of millions of undeserving sinners.”

Emma Spence is on page 64 of 224 of Now and Not Yet: Pressing in When You’re Waiting, Wanting, and Restless for More

Not reading this as fast as I thought and needed to save my place for the e-book from the library. So far…decent but not my favorite.

Emma Spence is 36% done with The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, #1)

I just need to remind you that I *just* said goodbye to Tom Bombadil. This book is so much longer than the movies advertise, and I had forgotten.

Hearing about Betty’s faith in so much darkness or so much ordinary life and facing it with a heart always pressing forward to the prize set before us…so helpful.

Emma Spence is on page 159 of 272 of Death Comes to Pemberley

Giving up on this one. Would have rated 2/5 stars. Lacking. The beginning two chapters felt a little like Austen’s writing but ever since there has been too much internal monologue for the characters and the story has stalled.
