old books

John Milton is most famous for his epic poem "Paradise Lost" but he is also well known for his prose and other poetry that he wrote throughout his life. Sometimes involved in controvery and other times secluded in a hamlet composing verse and rhyme Milton would become one of the greatest writers in English history. He lived in the age of Shakespeare and Francis Bacon and these poetic and chaotic times would provide Milton with the energy and perspective needed to change the course of history in terms of English writing. I hope you enjoy these poems of Milton that were selected to be in the Harvard Classics.

This week we invite the unironically illustrious Aparna Nancherla on to shift our perspectives on many of the leading issues of the day. Issues like the ethics of reading a popular book years after everyone else, the sadness of European's attachment to their rich historic cultures, and the power structures of the average sleepover. Plus, a heated debate on the merits of warm ice cream causes a great divide. Hope you like conflict!

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they take a deeper dive into the 2022 Summer Reading List - an annual Church & Culture blog tradition. Every summer, Dr. White shares the top 10 books that he either has read over the past year or that are at the top of his list to read over the summer. This summer's list was a curveball from the norm, based on questions coming in from the staff at Mecklenburg Community Church about recommended reading for their souls. So this year's list covers some of the classics of Christian devotion, of spiritual formation.

As reading is a passion of Dr. White, he often blogs about books and reading. “Books We Lie About Reading” discusses a BBC survey about the top books people lie to say they have read. In this blog, Dr. White explains the importance of cultivating A Mind for God - the title of a book he wrote that has in the appendix three helpful book lists: 10 books to begin cultivating a mind for God, 25 books for a Christian worldview and a lengthy list of the “great books.” He also wrote a blog titled “Ten Books for Spiritual Growth,” a short entry listing the top 10 books that he recommends for spiritual growth and development.

Toward the end of the discussion, Dr. White mentioned how important he feels it is for churches to develop their own bookstores. He blogged about this topic as well in a blog titled, “The Need for Church Bookstores.”

For those of you who are new to Church & Culture, we'd love to invite you to subscribe (for free of course) to the twice-weekly Church & Culture blog and check out the Daily Headline News - a collection of headlines from around the globe each weekday.

For the love of old books, I love them and am giving you some ideas on what books to look for, which to covet and how to use them.

We're chatting to John Chitty, the director of a small animal/exotics practice in Hampshire. We discuss John and Julians shared love of old books, giving the snip to tortoises and sugar gliders, ferret husbandry and the difficulties, but also benefits of working through the pandemic as a veterinarian.

Also, we want to give a quick shout out to a charity which John is the Trustee and Honorary Secretary of called Vetlife. They provide emotional, financial and mental health support to the veterinary community, check them out at www.vetlife.org.uk.
