@ayjay This is a really apt description. Dealing with a lot of this right now in conversations with a wide range of people.
@ReaderJohn I have heard many say that Charles Taylor’s work is amazing, insightful, and profound. I have also felt and heard others say, he could really use a stronger editor in his work. :) You’re not alone in this.
@Jonah Yes, it was such a good one. I saw it recommended by someone and I really enjoyed it! I wish I had been exposed to this while in high school.
@ReaderJohn One more positive: it’s not a very long book and well worth the read, in my opinion. Let me know what you think when you read it eventually.
@ReaderJohn That book by Howard was influential for me, as well. Thanks for bringing it up!
@JohnBrady So much here, John, and thank you for joining the party. I love seeing the contours of your story in what you wrote. I wish I could sit and hear more about your response to Graham Greene’s novel and your journey toward Orthodoxy. And what a gift to read your last bullet point about the influence of your son on your faith now. Thank you for this.
