Recommendations for Sarah Mae

Recently we finally watched the DVD a friend lent us last spring - and I wondered why we waited so long! Gregory Peck, China... But maybe it was God's timing. The film so touched me that I immediately ordered a second hand hard cover copy of the novel it was based on: A.J. Cronin's "The Keys of the Kingdom."

I'm afraid I stayed up much later than I intended last night reading... Its a novel about an unorthodox priest and the theology is a little unorthodox, too. But it helps me think through things like humility and faithfulness and the outworking of obedience to the difficult commands of Jesus to love our enemies.

Reading is best by the fire - so is napping!

And now that the opposition is gone we're reading as a family again. We finished Jane Austen's "Northanger Abbey" and began E. Nesbit's "The Railway Children."
