I finished this tonight sitting on the back patio, listening to the birds, and enjoying our little slice of nature. I admire Bonhoeffer and there‘s a lot of wisdom in this slim book. His German idiosyncrasies do come through, as when he said “we should train ourselves to set apart for it a regular hour for [meditation] as we do for every other service we perform. This is not ‘legalism‘; it is orderliness and fidelity.” But much here is universal.

The nonfiction book I chose to focus on this month for my #2025nfbookchallenge is the 1689 London Baptist Confession. I think it‘ll be interesting to learn about the history of the denomination I was raised in. So far, I‘m finding it excellent. The statements are clear, considering the lingo from that year differs just a bit from today, and the many scriptures used to back each statement are solid.

The lovely @Texreader has reached a milestone! And she is kind enough to have a Giveaway. Check her page for details.

What I like most about Litsy is the community of book lovers. Everyone is so very kind and welcoming. I don‘t know how many times I have called many of you, when talking to others, my book friends. Because you are.

“Christians, especially ministers, so often think they must always contribute something when they‘re in the company of others, that this is the one service they have to render. They forget that listening can be a greater service than speaking. Many people are looking for an ear that will listen. He who can no longer listen to his brother will soon be no longer listening to God either. This is the beginning of the death of the spiritual life.”

TheBookHippie Are you listening to bear witness, are you listening to respond, is your ego listening or your heart…. 3mo
BarbaraJean @TheBookHippie YEP. Am I listening to understand? Or am I listening to shoehorn in my own opinion and push my own perspective? All questions I'm constantly asking myself as I train in spiritual “companioning.“ Real listening is SO needed right now. 3mo
TheBookHippie @BarbaraJean it‘s part of training for mentoring at risk youth. We have to retrain every 2 years. 3mo

It took longer to read than it should have, but it was well worth it. If you‘re looking for a guide to being a better church member, this is an excellent resource. John Owen backs everything up with scripture so you aren‘t left wondering whether the points are truly biblical. Highly recommend! This is part of my personal challenge to read more nonfiction this year. #2025nfbookchallenge

I absolutely loved this book. As someone who has been in the church, my whole life and gained much from it, I love the idea of slowing down and getting back to what really matters.

The title here is Pilgrims by M.R. Leonard, his literary debut. I‘d call it speculative scifi & when i describe it it sounds ludicrous.

Earth is under oppressive martial law awaiting a coming alien invasion. 🛸👽

The aliens land. The aliens are devout Catholics.🧐

Sounds like satire. It is not.

Our main character is a Latin teacher that discovers studying Classics in college was a crackerjack major after all. 🤯

Ruthiella Sounds good. Maybe I will nominate it for the next #LitsySciFiBookClub pick. 🚀 8mo

This is my nonfiction autumn book stack…unstacked! 🤣 I‘ve had these on my shelf for a few months. It‘s time to dig in. #autumnreads #nonfiction #Christianbooks I‘m also getting back into reading the daily Bible study periodical Tabletalk. Always good stuff in there!

Such a good book. It has been really timely for me right now. I was encouraged to think more about emotional growth and maturity as it is paired with my faith and leadership. We often ignore emotional maturity in the church and that is a mistake. This book laid out clear principles that lead through the process of pursuing health and growth.

jessjess I haven't read this one but our study group did EHS (the blue one) and it was eye-opening and thought provoking. 3y
BookBabe Sounds good! #stacked 🙌🏻 3y
