It's sprawling, it's dense, it takes two-hundred pages to hook you. It's my favorite novel—deal with it.

Our review of May's fiction recommendation, A Tale of Two Cities, is up on The Faithful Reader: https://t.co/vosXIDb6bg

Wherein I commend to you texts that are unfathomable artistic achievements. Enjoy!

There are sentences in this book that shine so brightly you can't look directly at the pages.

@drmoore Hi @drmoore, really appreciate your work helping pastors (and all believers) nurture a reading life. I've just started a site (@faithful_reader) to help Christians find fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction that feeds them.

[Kolby Kerr @KolbyKerr]

Poetry is an entirely different genus of language. Without poetry, language is just a tool or vehicle, not a thing that matters in itself. I argue here why Christians especially should give poetry a chance:

In Till We Have Faces, Lewis traces the subtlety of idolatry, revealing how even our purest and most perfect loves, when not given first to God, bend themselves toward selfishness. Check out the full review on The Faithful Reader: https://t.co/IAM0hW7tPn

[Kolby Kerr @KolbyKerr]

...in which I argue Till We Have Faces is Narnia for grownups and you should read it.

[The Faithful Reader @faithful_reader]

The first recommendation is live on The Faithful Reader. Check out Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis! https://t.co/IAM0hW7tPn

I created @faithful_reader because I believe many Christians (and especially pastors) have a broken belief about what reading is and does.

Announcing a little side project of mine: @faithful_reader. A simple idea to help people of faith build a habit of sustained literary reading. Three book recs each month: fiction, poetry, nonfiction. Give us a follow, and check it out: https://t.co/3BUIudM0JS

I remain convinced that digital habits is one of the most contextually relevant and important conversations for forming disciples.

Today, the President confirmed the decision to lower the United States’ #refugee ceiling to 30,000 people for FY19. World Relief grieves the impact this reduction will have on some of the world’s most vulnerable people. ➝ https://t.co/caLUeZ5dIy

@TelosCollective I try to work in that fun fact about the pace of ocean floor spreading wherever I can. I didn't pull a 'B' in Natural Disasters in college just to keep that one on the sidelines!

https://t.co/IcivcWQX43 - In a culture that measures personal value by our achievements, @KolbyKerr reconsiders the Christian call to love as a work of the Holy Spirit in which we accomplish nothing and yet are completely transformed.

Oh my. Most of you know of my love for ⁦@joshritter⁩ and now he gives us this one. Great songs do more than words. https://t.co/lvUpGUzLwl

What happens when things get a little too "real" in community? @KolbyKerr reflects on how to move through our idealized concept of community to love an imperfect church. https://t.co/Sv5qbVTVVN

In this week’s @Anglican_Pastor Collect Reflection, I write about my experience of ‘bubble wrap’ faith and learning the boldness to pray to participate in the adventure of God’s work in the world.
