I’m one of the judges on the Sunday Times Charlotte Aitken Young Writer of the Year prize (winner to be announced next March) so I’m reading boxes of books – fiction, non-fiction, poetry – by writers under the age of 35. The standard is high but I might be in breach of the rules if I single anyone out at this stage.

‘“When you break rules, break ’em good and hard,’ said Nanny, and grinned a set of gums that were more menacing than teeth.” – Wyrd Sisters, by Terry Pratchett. “Nobody ever told me it was hard” – Terry Pratchett, (possibly slightly paraphrased from an interview). Being good doesn’t have to be hard. That’s a lesson I try to hold on to from Terry Pratchett. Sometimes people are just good at something, and that’s when the rules meant to teach how to do it really get in the way.

As you plan for retirement, it’s important to focus on having enough assets to live the life you want. Money and assets are just tools we use to express personal values and highlight what we view as important. In the years leading up to retirement (or at any stage of life), be sure to focus on the things that will bring you joy, meaning and fulfillment throughout the next chapter of life.

James Salter’s 1975 novel, Light Years, is the story of a marriage between two highly civilised Americans, Nedra (the woman) and Viri (the man). It is a good marriage full of good parties, and then it is a less good marriage full of infidelities. Finally, it is no marriage at all. They go their separate ways and suffer strange adventures that leave one of them dead and the other bewildered and drowning in a new marriage.

Reading the Psalms Theologically provides an interesting and encouraging advanced taste of editorial criticism, doing so with vigor and an apparent love for the Psalms. The overall thrust is that the Psalter does point to Christ, which should lead believers to reverence and awe of God. Reading The Psalms Theologically (Studies in Scripture and Biblical Theology), edited by David M. Howard Jr. and Andrew J. Schmutzer. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Academic, 2023, 344 pages, $29.99.

We are made to know God (Phil. 3:10). As we form friendships, even among equals, we come to know who our friends are and what they do. So it is as we grow in a loving relationship with the One who is our King, our Father, and our Friend. God is a being perfect in all His attributes. One of God’s attributes is His power. That God is powerful presupposes that He works. Growing in understanding of God’s works will help us better know God.

Rote. The word sounds negative, doesn’t it? It may give a parent flashbacks to long lists of dates or learning multiplication tables. Using mechanical or habitual repetition to teach children the truths of something as precious as the gospel may sound especially unappealing, even inappropriate. Yet this is precisely the method proponents of religious catechisms advocate.

We rely on the Spirit to apply to us all the blessings of Jesus. Jesus accomplishes redemption and the Spirit applies it to us. Christ’s death purchased life, and that life is manifested in us by the power of the Spirit, who is a person, who will do what He wills, not just a power like “the force” from Star Wars. We can do nothing apart from the Holy Spirit, applying to us the blessings won by Christ.

Last week saw Huckleberry Finn bring back the golden laurels for Old Dan Rhody, and he asks: “What work of fiction, which may include embellished descriptions of actual events, made you laugh out loud? I’m not talking about chuckles or sniggers here, I mean gut-busting belly laughs.” * * * A few ground rules (as […]
