A book of joy—the joy of God’s love.
What a great novel! It reminds me a little bit of Catcher in the Rye but the main character is an Iranian-American drug and alcohol addict trying to figure out how to make his life and death matter. Funny, sad, sweet, bittersweet, odd, cool, all the things.
A book written in the ‘80s about the Spiritual Disciplines—long before they became “cool.”
Another awesome collection of poems by my favorite poet, Pádraig Ó Tuama.
I’ve fallen in love with beautiful books—and this is one.
The list, my star rating, and some notes. In 2018 I started trying to keep a count and list of all the books I read in a year, in addition to the longer entries about particular books.
Very fun book that explores families, parenting, adoption, and great characters with lots of funny lines and humorous pearls of wisdom. Highly recommend!
Thin Places are fascinating to me.

A book of letters from a friend, encouraging you in your journey/wanderings in the wilderness, a journey of evolving faith.
Fun book to read. Funny, too. The characters have great personalities and I liked it was set in Key West, where I had lived back when I was in 6th and 7th grade. It gave the book a colorful background.
Highly recommend. Great story and characters and writing!

Good book. And it’s about despair, which Christian Wiman is more than qualified to write about.
