About Me

A wooded mountain path, a clear rolling stream, a faithful dog by my side, the company of family and friends, a stack of compelling books, and a steaming cup of black coffee - these are a few of my favorite things.

The Classics We've Read, The Difference They've Made, Chrisostom Society

While enjoying a mountain retreat at Blowing Rock, North Carolina, I picked this little book up at a quaint book shop. Initially it was an oddity to me for a variety of reasons. For starters, the authors are all Christians I believed yet they were writing about classic literature. This shouldn't be unusual but it is. The format of the book was interesting too. The various authors weren't simply writing essays but testimonials. They we're giving witness to the value of classic literature and various genre - another peculiarity among my evangelical brothers.
This book was a joy to read. It would serve as a fine introduction for anyone, even preteens and teens. Get ready for your reading horizon to be broaden! It was an excellent vacation book for me and I'm sure you will enjoy it too.

If you have specific questions about this book place your question in the comment section or email me.
post tenebras lux, Scott
