Yes! Thank you! Yes, I am still thinking of...G-J:<br /><br />Yes! Thank you! Yes, I am still thinking of Dodie's book. I don't think I disliked it, rather found most of it very beautiful and worth thinking on more. I hope to do so in the future!<br /><br />Swindoll's book came out of his radio series, it is this that I heard when I was 19 and I am quite indebted to it! Would be interesting to see what I think of it 20 years later!elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962587884124992942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-84079102361063259022016-07-08T16:59:44.148-04:002016-07-08T16:59:44.148-04:00I was very interested in your engagement with I Ca...I was very interested in your engagement with I Capture the Castle, which I loved, and with Swindoll's book, which I had not heard of. It's a good writer who can make a fictional character that real for us that we lament her poor choices as though she were a good friend. I suppose that just as we do with our friends, we might comfort ourselves that Cassandra's life was not over yet :-)<br /><br />Interesting, isn't it, that even when we find true fulfillment of our lives and purpose in Jesus Christ and His Church, we find so much that might not be satisfying without Him, fascinating and satisfying to learn about and to do. I empathize with you in constantly having to deal with this tension of living a full, but also peaceful life. God bless you!GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.com
