Eagle and Child: No episode this week
Music Monday: Peace Be Still
Hmmmm…I feel in the mood for a little bit of Gospel this morning…
Master, the tempest is raging!
The billows are tossing high!
The sky is o’ershadowed with blackness.
No shelter or help is nigh.
Carest thou not that we perish?
How canst thou lie asleep
When each moment so madly is threat’ning
A grave in the angry deep?
The winds and the waves shall obey thy will:
Peace, be still.
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea
Or demons or men or whatever it be,
No waters can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean and earth and skies.
They all shall sweetly obey thy will:
Peace, be still; peace, be still.
They all shall sweetly obey thy will:
Peace, peace, be still.
Walter Hooper’s Conversion
A while ago I posted a series of video interviews with Lewis’ secretary, Walter Hooper. Did you know he converted to Catholicism?
Best surprise, bar nun
Well, this is rather cute…
Friday Frivolity: Christians Are Immoral
One Minute Book Review: Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus
This week I’ve been reading Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus by the late Nabeel Qureshi. The book is something of an autobiography, the journey of a fervent Muslim to Christianity.
Nabeel is a great story-teller and this book was definitely a page-turner. I particularly liked his ability to give the reader a substantial introduction to Islam while in the process of recounting his early years.
The apologetic content is thoughtfully handled and what comes across more than anything is the love he had for his former faith and his continued love for his family, despite the strain his conversion inevitably placed upon their relationship.
