In reply to Danielle Hammelef. We're having to modify our gatherings again this year for Christmas, but I can't complain about that, compared to your situation. I'm sorry you won't get to see your family again this Christmas, Danielle. :(

Thank you for these book recommendations! I haven’t heard of them before, but each of the nonfiction books sounds like they will personally help me especially now as the pandemic is getting worse and I won’t be able to see family again this year.

Thank you for participating in Nonfiction November! I’m so glad you found some new titles to add to your TBR pile.

Intriguing list, with your “uncertainty” in mind! Certainty is a poisonous idol indeed.

I’ve wondered since [I can’t remember when] whether you knew Rosling’s work (eg gapminder) [maybe when I was reading Pinker’s Enlightenment Now]. Statistics and humanism at their best.

I’m most tempted by Good to Grow, not because I have a weight problem (a waist problem maybe) but I love food and drink, and bodies, and (more intellectually) embodiment. Another Bonhoeffer (and CS Lewis maybe?) thing is that Christianity is not against the body as such like some other religions are. Capitalism is like a Devil’s voice saying we should be like this or that.

And have you read the latest book by Watson? I haven’t yet, even though I really enjoyed this one here. I guess I’m afraid I’ll be disappointed.

God Can’t and Benefit of the Doubt look like intriguing reads. It would be a good to be reminded of the things God can’t do. I am currently reading The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron. I enjoy his sense of humor in the midst of really helpful explanations of the Enneagram types.

Have a blessed December!

Planet of the Blind made a big impression on me. Hope you enjoy it too. Know My Name is on my list from last year’s NFN … I hope to get to it soon.

I got a great deal out of Factfulness, a book I read this month after hearing about it here.
