The Lost Words

Robert Macfarlane & Jackie Morris

“Acorn,” “otter,” and “willow” are just a few of the entries you’ll find in this gorgeous, large-format children’s book, The Lost Words. Author Robert Macfarlane, along with artist Jackie Morris, successfully imbues a sense of wonder into words that describe our natural surroundings, but are no longer included in the Oxford Junior Dictionary.

Walking with God through Pain and Suffering

Timothy Keller

If social distancing has opened up some space for reflection, check out this substantive but accessible book. Keller takes seriously life’s terrible realities yet continues to live with joy and conviction that the soul can grow through suffering. Using the Biblical metaphor of suffering as a furnace, Keller comes at the topic from multiple angles: philosophical, theological, devotional, and narrative.
