Rachelle McClintock returns to HFP. Macon and Alex talk to her about storing books, writing books, discovering what it is we have to say to the world, which leads to the Death of Dreams.

Show Notes:

Amish Romance Novels. They are actually a thing.

Stone Cold Jane Austen

Like your first Doctor, not to be confused with the First Doctor, everyone remembers their first Mr. Darcy:

* 1940

* 1995

* 2005

People shelving their books wrongly.

A Potemkin Library is this guy’s library.

How stacking works at Heathrow.

Alex totally redeems himself

Our Alex invites you to reflect on Lazarus

The Epistle to the Romans, Karl Barth

The Message of Romans, John Stott

It wasn’t Calvin, it was the Church Fathers: Ancient Christian Commentary, Romans.

Stop everything: go read The Great Divorce. Even better, go listen to The Great Divorce.

This setup would be sufficient.

Augustine’s approach even gets a shout out from Psychology Today.

J. Alex Kirk, author. (Someone needs to give IVP the bad news.)

You think it might be difficult, but Surrender is actually a cheap trick. (Or if you prefer, you can have your surrendering to be a bit more emo with 2020 production values.) (Someone needs to tell Bruce, this might not be the path of wisdom.)

Enneagram Three. Threes are self-assured, attractive, and charming. Ambitious, competent, and energetic, they can also be status-conscious and highly driven for advancement. (You’re never going to win HFP Bingo if you don’t learn these.)

You’re not going to slow Threes down. They’ve got to keep moving.

Hamilton was a three? Likely Threes would claim him.

Chaotic Neutral. The only way to be.

Tubthumping as Three Theme Song?

Africa cover, the one Marshall actually wanted.
