Currently Reading

  • The Surgeon's Mate By Patrick O'Brian
    Captain Jack Aubrey and ship's surgeon Stephen Maturin navigate treacherous waters both literal and diplomatic as they transport intelligence from the Baltic to England, only to find themselves caught between French agents, American privateers, and Maturin's complicated romantic entanglements with Diana Villiers.
  • The Uncontrolling Love of God: An Open and Relational Account of Providence By Thomas Jay Oord
    An influential work in modern theology, specifically within the "Open Theism" and "Relational Theology" circles. Oord argues that God's nature is essentially self-giving, sacrificial love (agape), which means God cannot control others—not because He lacks power, but because love, by its very nature, grants freedom.
