Um, “fine”?
Pretty sure there is a difference between “never been exposed to” and never questioned.

Um, I guess I read a lot of different types of books?

“The Bible was never meant to be a means of competitive soundness, still less a mere resource for theological information. It is meant to transform us—by deepening our knowledge and love for Christ.”

“Rubbing shoulders with those who are different from me constantly challenges my own thinking and, at its best, sends us all back to the Scriptures to see what they teach.”

#bookhaul from my Korea trip! Not all for me, but I wish I had had more luggage space.

My jet-lagged brain did a double-take, then took a second to go, “It wasn‘t a museum yet” 😂

Definitely a #prettycover impulse buy, but I‘m glad I picked up this souvenir of my trip to Korea. I loved the way she wove in traditional Korean folktales.

What a shame we‘re weeding this one😜

#bookhaul mostly from Munro‘s, a couple from Russell Books as well. Almost all for other people this time, so that‘s good, right?

Well, this was an interesting book to read this past week. It is outdated, though, this edition having been published in 2019. Despite that, some interesting big picture points to consider heading into the future.

Argh! I bought this book ages ago, so I definitely don‘t have the receipt any more to return it. From page 5-36 it is all like this! 😱
