Modern culture is increasingly outspoken against a biblical understanding of what it means to be a woman. Even some Christians, swayed by the LGBTQ+ movement, have rejected God’s word on issues of sexuality and gender in favor of popular opinion. In light of these pressures, it’s more important than ever to help women see the truth about who God created them to be. In this powerful book, Rosaria Butterfield uses Scripture to confront 5 common lies about sexuality, faith, feminism, gender roles, and modesty often promoted in our secular culture today.

Forgiving anyone in a meaningful way is one of the hardest things a person has to do. If you do not, resentment and vengeance begin to consume you. It is nearly impossible to move past transgression without forgiveness, but few people have the resources and the tools to forgive others fully and move on with their lives.

Story
What does it mean to say that we live in a secular age? Almost everyone would agree that we - in the West, at least - largely do. And clearly the place of religion in our societies has changed profoundly in the last few centuries. In what will be a defining book for our time, Charles Taylor takes up the question of what these changes mean - of what, precisely, happens when a society in which it is virtually impossible not to believe in God becomes one in which faith, even for the staunchest believer, is only one human possibility among others.

Story
Composed around 1294 in Italian, the Vita Nuova tells the story of Dante's encounters with and love for Beatrice, culminating in her early death and its effect upon him. Utilizing and developing the conventions of courtly love, in a mixture of prose and verse, Dante deepens the emotional content of the genre, while pointing the way towards the intellectual and spiritual journey of the Divine Comedy.

Story
Written in alternating prose and poetry, La Vita Nuova is a profound reflection on the nature of love, devoted to Dante's muse Beatrice. Following Beatrice's death in 1290, Dante became obsessed with the young Florentine woman, whom he only ever knew from a distance. He believed his love for her was a form of divine love and saw her as an image of salvation itself - a theme that is later explored in his masterpiece The Divine Comedy, where she guides him through heaven.

Medea is an ancient Greek tragedy written by Euripides, based upon the myth of Jason and Medea and first produced in 431 BC. The plot centers on the actions of Medea, a former princess of the "barbarian" kingdom of Colchis, and the wife of Jason; she finds her position in the Greek world threatened as Jason leaves her for a Greek princess of Corinth. Medea takes vengeance on Jason by murdering Jason's new wife as well as her own children, after which she escapes to Athens to start a new life.

This Puritan classic, first published in the late 17th century, sets forth the biblical teaching of God and his interaction in our lives. No detail is too small or insignificant for God; he is there, working out "all things for good". And in that promise, every believer can take comfort that God truly has a purpose for every single person and will unfold his plan, which includes every detail in our daily lives.

Lament is how we bring our sorrow to God - but it is a neglected dimension of the Christian life for many Christians today. We need to recover the practice of honest spiritual struggle that gives us permission to vocalize our pain and wrestle with our sorrow. Lament avoids trite answers and quick solutions, progressively moving us toward deeper worship and trust.

Grieving the loss of an adult son
I listened to this book to determine whether it would be appropriate to give to a dear friend whose adult son and close friend of my son passed away on Easter Sunday a couple of years ago. The grief described by the author is grief that no one can understand unless they have lost a child. The unedited emotion and feelings of the author are real. Without a doubt this book will touch and give comfort to someone who has lost a child to death, yet provide a glimmer of hope that one day you will see your child again.

Hard, but important
Short Review: I can't really review a classic book on grief and this is a classic. Wolterstorff (a philosopher) wrote this book in response to the death of his son in 1985 (published in 87). It is quite short (less than 2 hours in audio, about 100 pages in text).
I have never experienced profound grief. So I am writing as someone who is both preparing for the inevitable profound grief that will come someday if I live long enough. And as someone that is aware that we are Americans and I as an Evangelical are part of groups that do not like grief and lament. We tend to want to push people to stop lamenting so that we are not uncomfortable. I think we need to make sure books like this are part of our regular reading so that we do not push people out of lament and can be reminded that lament is part of Christianity because Christians believe in embodiment. We grieve because we think that there is something important about the body.
I don't like reading about grief any more than anyone else. I am very reluctant to pick up books on grief, but I do think they are important and I am reminded of that importance every time I pick one up.
I am not a huge fan of Trevor Thompson as a narrator. I think there is too much bass in his voice and that makes it hard to listen to on headphones. But the weight of his voice is appropriate for this book.
