Recent Reads- Some heavier topics, banned book Irreversible Damage, Live Not By Lies, Ibsen’s Doll

Irreversible Damage, Abigail Shrier - 4 ⭐️ very informative and thought provoking, I did not always agree with her worldview or appreciate some of the language. But she did a good and thorough job with the subject matter. It is so important to understand the topic so we can know how best to truly love people well who are hurting and being victimized.
Give them Grace - 1 ⭐️ DNF
Tactics, Greg Koukl - 5 ⭐️ need to read again, and again!
That Hideous Strength, C.S. Lewis - 5 ⭐️ recommended for adults, I had a better time with it this time than when I was 18
A Doll’s House, Henrik Ibsen - 4 ⭐️ very thought provoking
Little House In the Big Woods - Laura Ingalls Wilder 5 ⭐️
Live Not by Lies, Rod Dreher - fascinating so far.

    I came here from your comment on my video, and this isn't what I was expecting! But refreshing and needed nonetheless, as I often get a bit caught up in secular stuff. I'm going to have a look at some of these.

    Well I’m glad it was refreshing 😄 I love to read a variety of things, for fun, for challenging my mind and faith, for building family culture / inside jokes, and now for learning French too. If you’re not reading, you’re not thinking! As a Christian, I think of a lot of literature as puzzle pieces. When authors write, they see and reveal different parts of the puzzle of life, but often they’re missing certain pieces, and sometimes they’re trying to force in a piece that doesn’t belong. Sometimes they’re seeking hope in things that can give temporary pleasure or relief, but not ultimate hope and joy. I think the truth that Christians have can fill in some of those pieces. Thinking and talking through these things is so fun! It makes me feel alive, reminds me of the hope I have, enriches my faith and my relationships with my husband, children, and friends.
