Here is a link to a CBC radio interview with author Nadia Bolz-Weber, whose books are available at Crux.
Pastrix: The Cranky Beautiful Faith of a Sinner & Saint
Accidental Saints: Finding God in All the Wrong People
Winter Reading seems somehow different from summer reading. Books should go well with hot drinks and snowy scenes somehow. Of course, what goes with firesides and hot drinks depends on the person. Here are the Crux staff’s Winter Reading picks.
Ed is reading The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything by James Martin, SJ
Ed claims he’s reading this “because the author signed the book for me (and I really enjoyed listening to his lecture at Regis College).
Cindy is reading Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxas
Cindy says she’s finally reading this book “because it’s been on my reading list far too long.”
Carolyn is reading The Sickness Unto Death by Soren Kierkegaard.
Of course, Carolyn frequently reads Kierkegaard. This time, she claims it is “because Winter is for Kierkegaard, and if you don’t believe me, listen to Tyler Lyle’s gorgeous song by the same name. January is a good month to confront the various forms of despair we live in.”
Heather is reading Not God’s Type by Holly Ordway
Heather is reading this book “because I like the cover, and I got it for Christmas.”
Sheila is reading The Divine Comedy by Dante.
Sheila decided to read this epic “because I heard a great discussion on the book How Dante can Save Your Life on the radio, and this encouraged me to follow up on my long-held intent to read Dante’s epic. I did read “The Inferno” for school, but never went further, so I guess I’m also reading this to get out of hell.”
Connor is reading Wittgenstein: Duty of Genius by Ray Monk
Connor says: “Long book? Of course it is! I’m reading it to add background to my study of Wittgenstein this coming term.”
