"Everything I've ever let go of has claw marks in it." Michael Peake

This isn't the first line but the first line of chap 4. It just resonated with me right now. ?

A Grief Observed | C.S. Lewis
post image
Mehso-so

A Grief Observed is a compilation of longhand writings take from the notebook journals of C.S. Lewis chronicling his thoughts over the loss of his wife. I listened to this book on audio. And it's fairly short, which is probably a good thing, and nearly bailed before the introduction was over. To be honest if it had been any longer than what it was, I still would have bailed on it. The content is interesting, (cont in comments)...

TheHeartlandBookFairy insightful, touching, raw and honest, and you can literally feel his grief. If you are in the early stages of graving a spouse, I'm not sure. I would recommend this book. Beyond that, I found parts of it boring and stuffy and other parts riveting and touching. I listened to this book, I'm audible. So perhaps it was just the narrator that I found difficult to listen to. In the end, I'm glad I did finish the book. But, I'm finding it difficult to give it more than 3.5 stars, just my personal opinion. 8mo
rubyslippersreads Have you seen the movie “Shadowlands”? I think it might be a more interesting version of this. 8mo
TheHeartlandBookFairy @rubyslippersreads I haven't, but I may have to check it out. 😊 8mo

God's Problem | Bart D. Ehrman

Ehrman writes about the Problem of Evil and how Christians have attempted to “square the circle” the millennia. I love a good dilemma and this is a classic. Multiple horns and lots of consequences; according to Ehrman, too many facile responses to a very deep philosophical conundrum.

A thought provoking little book. More religious that I expected, but some wise advice on how and why to carry on when the very act of getting out of bed seems to be too much.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ 🔷 So thankful for this book and women I read it with for a book study through church. God had his hands on the timing of reading this. I love Lysa‘s books and her writing just speaks to you….I am left wanting to read more of her books. #april

I gained a lot from reading this book. It is a faith-based approach on how to think about and the reasons why to work towards "getting out of bed" for those struggling with mental health issues. It is not based on a "scientific" study but rather a treatise on how looking outwards when we are in the throes of a crisis can help motivate and push us out of our own thoughts. This may not be for everyone. It is not a cure-all with guarantees of ⬇️

robinb complete healing. However, for those who are believers, it does give sound advice and guidance for better, more rewarding days. 4.5/5⭐️ 12mo

Here‘s my review for a book I just finished reading.

When God Doesn't Make Sense | James C. Dobson

I just started this book. It‘s interesting so far. I‘m going to read this book for #theunreadshelfproject. February‘s prompt is Courage. This book is going to attempt to answer a difficult question which is,”Why does God allow suffering?” I‘ve been wanting to read this book for awhile because it‘s something I‘ve been curious about but I‘m intimidated by the subject matter. I was close to unhauling this book because of the subject matter.
