@MerriamWebster @bobonbooks When I was young (in England) a ‘bilious attack’ referred to gastroenteritis and any disorder with similar symptoms, presumably reflecting an earlier belief that these were disorders of the ‘bile’.

For a striking novel narrated from the perspective of a character turning to Jesus, I can recommend the much underrated George MacDonald's Thomas Wingfold, Curate. https://t.co/m5AayBHK6Q.

‘Through the hardest and most painful times, and in the best and most joyful times in my life, Jesus has walked alongside me, He’s never left.’

Watch this powerful testimony by Archbishop @JustinWelby, as he shares who Jesus is to him.

🙏 Who is Jesus to you?

@mattwilcoxen Of course.
