To All the Books I’ll Never Read

As one who wants to read it all, I found this a comforting (and necessary) re-alignment of my expectations. Limitations are good.

‘The end of a thing’

Don’t judge a life before it is ended. “A young woman I know, much infatuated with great literary figures, is going off to read them in a college in the fall. I hope that alongside studies of De Profundis and The Picture of Dorian Gray the school will also have a course on deathbed fears and tremblings to provide a fuller picture.”

Assorted Writings of Francis Turretin

I’m sure there is something here that will both interest and enlighten your daily reading from one of the worthiest Reformed theologians.

On Forgiveness

A classic essay by C. S. Lewis. “Real forgiveness means looking steadily at the sin, the sin that is left over without any excuse, after all allowances have been made, and seeing it in all its horror, dirt, meanness, and malice, and nevertheless being wholly reconciled to the man who has done it.”

ABOUT — The Sunday Reader shares articles we've found particularly insightful, thought-provoking, or edifying this week. While not always representing the views of our Pastors and Elders, these selections offer a mix of viewpoints to broaden and frame your understanding of God, Scripture, ourselves, and the world we serve in Christ's name.
