Saturday Good Reads


Two stories about faith and love – Loren Paulsson on the struggles of his wife and Tim Challies on Florence Liddell, wife of Eric Liddell. Both are good. Both make you realize what’s truly important.

Chris Yokel probes the meaning of a world swamped in information, and Thomas Frank at The Guardian wonders at how America’s elites have not awakened to the fact that a revolution is underway.

And good poetry, photos of the Waldorf-Astoria through the years (now that it’s going condo), and a flyover of Hadrian’s Wall.

Thank you for including my recent podcast episode in this. I read the revenge against elites piece and the life lost in information. You really do pull together such thought provoking content. Loved the poem at the end of the Curator article.
