Super interesting future world: expansive, detailed and yet recognizably human. Technology is driving change, and yet characters remain determinative. Long. Very long. But so far still eager to keep turning pages…

Space opera indeed—an immense world. Feels like James Corey and Isaac Asimov had a baby.

There is more to this than I expected. Reflective and careful, conversing widely with a host of important thinkers, this book has taken over my thoughts and conversations this week. A great challenge, so important for our current cultural moment.

Such a fascinating world. The historical twist is fun, though this 3rd outing is not quite as good as that thrilling first book.

Andrew Kaiser is on page 50 of 245 of Hearers and Doers: A Pastor's Guide to Making Disciples Through Scripture and Doctrine
“The truth of the gospel is intrinsically incarnate. It is not abstract, but concrete, and it takes a physical company of the gospel to communicate it. It is hard to act out love for one’s enemies in a one-man show. It takes a company.’

Andrew Kaiser is on page 100 of 640 of The Grace of Kings (The Dandelion Dynasty, #1)
High “silkpunk” from the translator of The Three Body Problem. A fascinating world, well-formed and deep. So far still echoing first century China, but seemingly less bound to that timeline than the very different Poppy Wars trilogy.

Andrew Kaiser is 50% done with First Contact-Or, It's Later Than You Think
Half as good as Kurt Vonnegut plus half as good as Douglas Adams does not equal one amazing book. Clever, fun, and silly—if derivative. A quirky sendup of 2020 America. With aliens.

Andrew Kaiser is 55% done with Lovin' on Jesus: A Concise History of Contemporary Worship
“A great irony in the history of contemporary worship is that many of its roots are in liturgical traditions that value extemporaneity in worship although its development is toward closer management of time.”

One of the defining characteristics of contemporary worship? Dependence on electricity: worshipping in a black box means no electricity = no lights, no screens, no voice or instrument amplification.

Van Til for the new millennium, by way of Marilynne Robinson, George MacDonald, and Charles Taylor? ‘Bout time.

Umm, isn’t Nikara just 1820s China? I mean, 科举, honestly. Waiting for the fantasy bit to kick in…
