This labor of love has a pretty cover and is pre-order official now! My guide for Christians on reading Greco-Roman Classics as Christians for character formation, growth in the virtues, and the sheer joy of reading, is coming this fall @ZonderAcademic amazon.com/Christians-Rea…

This summer, I'm giving my kids a MUCH more unfair advantage through quality time together, lots of books read aloud, and hundreds of hours of playdates with friends.

Incredible work from Dixie this morning. One of the challenges of a life of leisure and comfort is that the *routine* experience of pushing beyond physical limitations and then feeling unexpectedly sustained by something outside my own power has become so rare.

I am very sad to report that the wonderful Catholic poet Jane Greer @NorthDakotaJane has died. Please keep her soul, her family and her husband Jim in your prayers.
