I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Raised Mormon, I'm now a religious Humanist with an affinity for pagan nature worship and Catholic æsthetics who regularly attends progressive high church Episcopal mass with my Christian wife, Amy. Yes, it's complicated. The Mary book is in Latin & English 🤍

pickI chose Canadian Summer, the sequel to The Mitchells: Five For Victory for #foodandlit this month. The Mitchell family moves to Montreal from Washington, D.C. shortly after the end of WWII. There are 6 Mitchell children & they get up to all sorts of shenanigans. They befriend some of the French speaking locals & other interesting neighbors. These are sweet & cozy & I‘m looking forward to reading the next book in the series. 4⭐️🇨🇦

pickThis is either one of the best books I‘ve read on the Christian practice of contemplation—or I read it at exactly the right time. Or both. It made connections between contemplation and the fruit of the practice in ways that clicked for me. I‘ve found contemplation to be an exercise in trust & letting go. Laird‘s descriptions of the journey into silence dovetailed with that experience—it resonated deeply. I‘m so glad I read it at the time I did.
