MiniMusing: The Hook of Book Festivals
What’s the Hook?
What is it about a book festival that draws you? Is the hook the books, the authors, the discussions, the passion of the written word, the draw to discover a new favorite author and then get their autograph?
The draw for me has evolved a little over the years, though I believe the joy of books and bookish people lies at the heart of every trip I’ve made.

What I didn’t know was there was someone who came to save me. Someone perfect who could take on the punishment I deserved. Perfection’s not in my skill set, but God sent his son Jesus to be that for me. He let himself be put up on that cross—like the one out by the pond—and his father turned his back on him because he took my sin … he took your sin … he took it all on him, so we don’t have to. “Like we’ve all heard Ben say, ‘We can’t ever do more bad than God’s willing and able to forgive.’ More than that, we don’t ever have to be separated from God.
