A La Carte (4/6)

A La Carte Collection cover image

Why We Need Jane Austen – I love it! “I must admit that I was not trained in an English department so I am hampered to the extent that I’m rather inept at reading great works of literature for their sublimated eroticism, their homo-erotic subtexts, and covert commentaries on sexual, racial, and economic oppression. It is, then, with apologies to those who know better that I read literature as a naïve lover of a good story, good writing, and commentary on the unchanging human condition.”

Discernment Without Anger – How can you be discerning without being angry all the time? It’s a good and fair question, I think.

Radical Sacrifice – Trevin Wax writes about David Platt and James MacDonald’s recent “Elephant Room” session. “The MacDonald/Platt discussion was tense at times, perhaps because the practical ramifications of how we think about money always hit close to home.” TWax breaks it down.

How Much to Give & Save – Randy Alcorn on how much to give and how much to save. I love that guy.

Prenatal Development – A case against abortion.

That anger is without sin that is against sin.

—Thomas Watson
