Should Christians Write Dystopians?

Disclaimer: All I have to say is NOT because of any specific book in particular. I have been thinking of this for a long time and meaning to say it. This is in no way pointing out a specific book or author. It’s my own musings and convictions and NOT meant as an insult, holier-than-thou,

It’s Not Better in Egypt

It’s noon, in the desert. Heat ripples off the endless sand. There is no life to be seen, except perhaps a single solitary insect. And you’re standing at the door of your tent, tired of eating bread. Not a very enviable position, is it? It’s easy to understand why you would start crying, “Who shall

5 Reasons to Read Classics

If you know me at all, you know that I’m a voracious reader who downs between 400–700+ books a year, depending on circumstances. The greater portion of those are what I call classics, and which for the purpose of this post I will define as books written pre-1980.  Classics are my bread and butter. My go-to. My

January Wrap-Up // 2023 Edition

Yo, cupcakes! You may or may not have noticed the lack of post last week. The simple truth is I’ve been overwhelmed and had no time to prepare posts. I’ve had some prepared in advance but I don’t know how many I’ll be able to make right now, due to my job, so you may

Hello, 2023, the Year of Restoration

It’s been 2023 for 11 days. I haven’t been charmed, to be honest. We’ve have wave after wave of troubles and bad news. I’ve been utterly swamped and stressed. But yesterday in my devotions I read, “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof,” and I’m hoping it’s true for 2023 too. I completely

Goodbye, 2022, Year of Revival

It’s December 30 as I write this, 4:45 in the evening. In a few minutes we’ll be doing our family New Year’s supper. Tomorrow, December 31, we’ll celebrate Christmas with my extended family. Then Sunday is January 1. That feels very clean and aesthetic—a new year, a new month, a new week, starting all at

End of the Year + New Year’s Book Tags

How I Created My Writing Style

A common theme when people read my writing is the comments on my writing style. Many have asked me how I do it and today I thought I would do my best to answer that question. It can be divided into several sections. This is going to sound very self-centred and I’m not sure how
