![]() ![]() ![]() Not only is Simon working through his uncontrollable magic that just "goes off" like a bomb, he's also pretty obviously captivated with Baz, who in turn has always been in love with Simon and used his snobbery and disdain to mask his attraction. ![]() The strength of Carry On is that once again Rowell doesn't soft-peddle the confusion and frustration of being a teenager, something that's amplified tenfold for an orphaned wizard such as Simon Snow. ![]() And of course, since Rowell is an expert in the slow-burning romance, the love story here is far more central than all that blink-and-miss snogging at Hogwarts. It may initially be hard not to think of Simon as Harry, Penelope as a combination of both Ron and Hermione (she's initially a redhead and comes from a huge middle-class family), and Watford as Hogwarts, but as the story continues, those similarities fall away, and Rowell takes Simon on his own original journey. Featuring a diverse and compelling set of characters, Carry On works, because Rowell is such a natural, humorous storyteller who captures the feelings of first love and self-discovery. There's something magical about Rowell's coming-of-age tales, so this expansion of Fangirl is brilliant. Once readers get past the obvious Harry Potter parallels, they'll find this page-turning romance yet another winning and heartwarming story from Rainbow Rowell. ![]()

It fills out the interpretation and places it deeper into the tradition. But the Old Testament reference gives the structure of grace to begin seeing the New Testament reality from new perspectives. The Old Testament type is always inferior to the New Testament reality, which is the full revelation. Just as the manna in the desert was a type of the Eucharist, so too the ark of the covenant is a type of Mary. To understand the connection between the readings and the special feast, we need to understand biblical typology.

Brief Summary of Book: Chord (The OTP Series, #2) by Chelsea M. ![]() ![]() ![]() Often the language became so technical in its philosophical terms that I lost sight of the actual point altogether. ![]() Kierkegaard takes issue with the pat platitudes often delivered on this story, delving into Abraham's struggle and the movement of faith within the soul.In some ways I really didn't really get this book. The more we think about this story, the more profound it becomes. ![]() Through all this, Abraham's faith did not waver (Hebrews 11). ![]() Abraham obeys up to the moment of taking up the knife, when God tells him to stop and sacrifice a ram instead. Most people are familiar with the story: God tests Abraham by telling him to sacrifice his son Isaac - the same son that God had promised would found a nation. Sometimes he's right on and other times I wonder how anyone could make sense of him, and if he even understood what he was saying! In this book, Kierkegaard attempts to understand the incredible trial of Abraham's faith that is recorded in Genesis 22. This was my first foray into his work, and I'm still thinking. Kierkegaard was a Danish author whose controversial works on Christianity, philosophy, and psychology are widely studied today. Fear and Trembling is Søren Kierkegaard's musings on Abraham and the nature of faith. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Her novella Pregnancy Diary, written in brief intervals when her son was a toddler, won the prestigious Akutagawa Prize for literature, thus cementing her reputation in Japan.
