Welcome to Litsy!

“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.”

This is a great study into the Holy Spirit. Ryrie addresses so many facets of the Holy Spirit. If you have questions or are simply curious about the Holy Spirit then this book is a really good resource from a really good teacher.

I‘m am SOOO enjoying this book! The pastor and associate pastor of my church recommended we all check it out. I thought I‘d add it to my #2025nfbookchallenge but instead of trying to cram this massive tome into one month, I‘m just going by chapters. I should finish it in April or early May. I love how each chapter is easy to understand and includes a memory verse, hymn, and contemporary worship song, as well as thought questions. #readmorebooks

My reading goals this year are to read at least 100 books. I wanted to make more of an effort to read nonfiction as well so I challenged myself to read one nonfiction book per month related to either theology, biography, or writing. I met the goal this month when I finished Tozer‘s “Divine Humilty”. The next book will be a challenge of challenges since I have been trying to read it for over a year. #tbr #nonfictionnotables #theology #christianlife

Recent acquisitions:

📖 Becoming Human: Meditations on Christian Anthropology in Word and Image by John Behr
📖 Everyone's Book About The English Church by F.C. Happold

Both not in the best condition but they're on topics of supreme interest to me and were basically free so I had to grab them.

An anthology of Inuit myths. Readers will learn about 4 mythological creatures from Inuit mythology. The illustrations show the creature.

Found this interesting. Some of C.S. Lewis's arguments could be difficult to follow. While I might not agree with every point, I still found the book thought-provoking.

School read. So far so good.

I've been working my way through this. Besides the "Narnia" series, it's the first C.S. Lewis book I've read.

Narnia for adults, in a way. I love Lewis‘ ability to articulate difficult mysteries in an understandable way yet without robbing them of their ineffable-ness.
