Meaning in the Muddle

Run with the Horses: The Quest for Life at its Best by Eugene H. Peterson

December 17, 2020 by Halbs 1 Comment

“Faith invades the muddle; it does not eliminate it…clarities come from adventuring deep into the mysteries of God’s will and love, not by cautiously managing and moralizing.” This is a lembas-bread-book for a couple of reasons. It’s dense and nourishing, which means it’s good. However, it’s dense and nourishing, which means it’s best absorbed in small bites. That’s mostly why it took me so long to finish this relatively short book. The other reason is the subject – this book is Eugene Peterson’s reflection on […]

Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson

February 24, 2014 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit is Jeanette Winterson’s autobiographical novel about her upbringing by an evangelical Christian mother in England and her coming out as a lesbian. As with my previous review, The Golden Notebook, an underlying theme is alienation, a breaking up of the whole person and an attempt at putting it all back together again. In this case, the author struggles to reconcile religion, family and sexual preference. The main character, also named Jeanette, tells her story in retrospect and focuses on […]
