You might disagree with my interpretation and that’s OK! . . “When you cross the Jordan in to Canaan, drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you. Destroy all their carved images and their … Continue reading The Book of Numbers
Finished this over the weekend. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to entrench themselves in faith reading. At times it was frightening, especially when she talks about seeing visions of the devil. Those were times I wanted to put it down, because that does scare me, and I don’t even believe in such … Continue reading St. Teresa de Avila by Herself
Spent yesterday going through the archives in the Detroit Public Library’s Burton Historical Collection. What a beautiful library! It’s what I would like my personal library to look like, and what it’ll have to look like if I keep buying books! 😂 The interior is so vintage—late 1950’s, early 1960’s I’m guessing. 🥰 . . … Continue reading Inside the Detroit Public Library

I liked it once it got rolling. Heyst is a loner who has spent much of his life living on an island, but when he rescues a … Continue reading Victory by Joseph Conrad
I have no authority to teach you about any of these wonderful books, so if you read on, please take what I say lightly.

EXODUS today!
