@bbowman I love that question. Do you have a favorite book or two (or three or…) by Williams? I’m a big fan of his work but always love to hear from others.

@ReaderJohn That is an achievement. Congratulations!

@bbowman This entire trilogy by Williams is a gift.

@ayjay Egad! I’m thrilled.

@dswanson That is so true. We need signs of life in days like these. Thanks for sharing your joyful discoveries.

@dswanson So beautiful!

@ayjay I would love to see how you would craft something like this.

@ayjay Wait. What does this mean?

@drwalt I must admit I do like writing all over the books I read. And I also pull quotations and write them in my journal. I wrote a down few pages of quotations from The Scent of Time.

@drwalt One article I read described his writing as aphoristic, which rings true with what I’ve read so far. The comparison with Emerson is an interesting suggestion.

@JohnBrady I’ve already experienced that overlap you mentioned just in reading The Scent of Time and The Burnout Society, which have some similar chapters. Still, I am fascinated with his writing because I find him addressing themes of great interest to me about action, contemplation, time and more.

@bbowman Marva Dawn is a wonderful gift. I remember hearing her speak at a gathering back when I was in seminary, not really knowing who she was, and immediately wanting to hear and read more from her.

@KyleEssary Beautiful!

@ayjay Amen.

@marmanold I can totally relate to that.

@marmanold That is a wonderful evocative book. I loved it and referenced his encounter with an onion in The Pastor as Gardener.

@bbowman I can definitely understand that! Thanks!

@scottjeffries Amen. Thank you!

@frjonjordan And now I can’t wait to read your book!

@frjonjordan Thank you so much! I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

@joshuapsteele I am so sorry to read this sad news. I know it may be the thing to say, but I sincerely mean I will pray for you all.

@tinyroofnail That is such an amazing poem. Geroge Herbert is one of my favorites of all time.

@lukemperez Great to hear your enthusiasm for it. I look forward to seeing it sometime soon.

@drwalt Thank you for sharing these glimpses into the future. It’s really helpful.

@dwalbert That is such a great way to describe a subtle difference in some musicals. Thanks for parsing that out. It puts words to what I may sense when viewing.
