On My Shelf helps you get to know various writers through a behind-the-scenes glimpse into their lives as readers. What’s on your nightstand right now? I try to have at least three books going at once: one nonfiction I’m reading straight through, one nonfiction I’m popping in and out of, and one fiction. Unfortunately, I didn’t start reading fiction until recently. The nonfiction book I’m reading straight through right now is The Intellectual Life by A. G. Sertillanges.

On My Shelf helps you get to know various writers through a behind-the-scenes glimpse into their lives as readers. I asked Sarah Irving-Stonebraker—associate professor of history and Western civilization at the Australian Catholic University and author of several books, including Priests of History: Stewarding the Past in an Ahistoric Age—about what’s on her bedside table, her favorite fiction, the books she regularly revisits, and more.

If you’re a pastor or church leader, we’d love to invite you to a Zoom conversation next week (Tuesday, April 15 at 2 p.m. ET) as we reflect on the spiritual and ministry implications of our always-online, constantly-scrolling culture. Sign up: https://t.co/GDRe3phJGy https://t.co/y8o1C5YNhl
Neil Postman has been a conversation partner in my life for over two decades. This is our humble attempt to engage his ‘Amusing Ourselves to Death’ 40 years later. (They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but this one might be the exception.) https://t.co/kXWevYKP56 https://t.co/0XMJd31ZkF
The breadth of what we do at @TGC is breathtaking at times—like, you know, casually producing an album themed on the gospel as we get ready to celebrate our 20th anniversary. These songs will minister to your soul as they have mine. https://t.co/guktTLsBrf
