This reminds me a lot of the TV show The Chosen, both in its content and in its mission. Both of them illumined the Gospels for me and helped me see Jesus in a new light. I prefer The Chosen, for both its theological and artistic merits, but I read t

"Second time reading through this novel in preparation to go through (hopefully!) all six this year, and man, this story only gets better on a second read. While the story borders on grimdark, I deeply appreciate the surprising moral arc of the protag"

"2023 Review
It appears I declared this book one of my all-time favorites in 2009 and then didn't read it again for the next 14 years. In my defense, this is a very hard book to track down. Unlike The Perilous Gard, I couldn't find it at libraries or " Read more of this review » |

Confusion between the 'things of Caesar' and the 'things of God' threatens the integrity of both realms. It elevates the secular government beyond its calling and capacity and robs the church of an essential part of its integrity. Excellent historical ...more |

“oh brave one,
oh broken, beautifully brave one,
remember.
remember that no matter how tiny the fragments this time,
how far apart they are scattered,
how long you must search,
he will help you find the pieces of the person you once were
and the image you once bore.”

“you know what hurts more than goodbye?
the almost-goodbye.
letting go of someone you never quite knew
and knowing you cannot know each other
and knowing you cannot know each other well
until you stand before God's throne.
and knowing that it is good.”

“When I was younger I did not doubt you, and I thought I never would.
But now I do, and my fears are crystal sharp in my mind. Breaking me.
I am broken.
And in my brokenness, I break things.
...
And yet
you tell me
to rejoice.”

“The men of the East may spell the stars,
And times and triumphs mark,
But the men signed of the cross of Christ
Go gaily in the dark.”

“In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”

“Then something Tookish woke up inside him, and he wished to go and see the great mountains, and hear the pine-trees and the waterfalls, and explore the caves, and wear a sword instead of a walking-stick.”

“The consolation of fairy-stories, the joy of the happy ending; or more correctly of the good catastrophe, the sudden joyous "turn" (for there is no true end to any fairy-tale): this joy, which is one of the things which fairy-stories can produce supremely well, is not essentially "escapist," nor "fugitive." In its fairy-tale -- or otherworld -- setting, it is a sudden and miraculous grace: never to be counted on to recur. It does not deny the existence of dyscatastrophe, of sorrow and failure: the possibility of these is necessary to the joy of deliverance; it denies (in the face of much evidence, if you will) universal final defeat and in so far is evangelium, giving a fleeting glimpse of Joy, Joy beyond the walls of the world, poignant as grief.”
