Mere Christianity | C. S. Lewis

Pickpick

Lewis truly had a gift to break down complex issues into bit-size understandable chunks.

Looking into the what, the how and the Who behind some questions everyone asks themselves at one point in their lives; and explaining in a sensible manner the why behind Christianity

This is the first commentary I read from this author, but I'll probably read the others as well. I wanted to read it and finish it be ween Pesach and Shavuot, but the last Shabbat we as a busy and difficult one and I didn't have the energy to finish it. Better late than never.

thereadingpal I find Rabbi Yanklowitz knows the subjects of his various opinions well, and he uses other Jewish texts and Rabbis opinions from different backgrounds to show the diversity and yet similarity of Jewish thought and (social) justice. 1d
thereadingpal As Jews we are called to action to tikkun olam, and Pirkei Avot is no different, but it's also much more. Our sages explore our relationship with ourselves, others, and HaShem, and how we must tend to and thread through the world to make sure to repair what's broken and make justice shine. 1d

I‘m so excited to start this study in June. It‘s my #2025nfbookchallenge. I always start the year strong with whatever challenge I set for myself. Then comes March… I‘ve been struggling to finish my nonfiction choices, but I‘m pretty sure that won‘t be the case here. I loved the documentary which brought out some excellent discussions. #readmorebooks #nonfiction #spirituallife

📚bedside book!
It isn‘t too information heavy because Alison Davies, a practitioner for 16 years(as of 2023), crafts each of the cards into a cohesive storytelling experience.
With beautiful artwork, and #shortstories to lull yourself to sleep💤

This was my book club‘s May pick (though we did discuss it 6/1!). Over the years, not too many #nonfiction books have won the vote, but this delve into Mithradates‘ life was certainly an interesting one! After seeing the physical copy, I wish I had read it instead— while an interesting listen, the audio version doesn‘t include the images or the extensive endnotes. Also, the author‘s obvious admiration for her subject was a bit eye-roll inducing!

This week I‘ve had the opportunity to visit a cousin who‘s been teaching in a dual language village school in Alaska for several years. She shared the essay “In Quinhagak” from this book. It details the writer‘s visit to a village where an archaeological dig is working to preserve a 500 year old village in the same area of Alaska before it‘s washed away by the sea. It was fascinating to read and see details similar to the village where she lives.

This one is about 1/3 fiction (the folk tales) and 2/3 nonfiction… so I‘m running with it as nonfiction.
