“What we want is not more little books about Christianity, but more little books by Christians on other subjects – with their Christianity latent.”
C. S.Lewis
Interestingly, that is the calling I have been hearing of late–“little books!”,
Abraham Kuyper, Dutch theologian and politician writes, “There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which, Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: ‘Mine!’ ”
Bono, ““If the truth sets us free and it does … Why aren’t Christian singers allowed to ring true?”
“We need more stories and songs that “tell the truth,” as Walker Percy wrote in Signposts in a Strange Land, especially about the human condition. True stories that transform lives and societies. More Uncle Tom’s Cabins and less “little books about Christianity.”
Read the whole of the thought-provoking post from which these thoughts were excerpted.

My book of essays: Wandering Between Two Worlds (US) or UK
Anita Mathias says
Thanks, Penny. The background is from the cover of my first book, “Wandering between Two Worlds.”
I think of blogs as more ephemeral than books, more like newspapers, really, though I suppose Google and linkwithin give them a longer self-life.

I like to think of blogs as little books….
