Okay -- if Aslan (or someone similar) says that, (or something to the same effect) then he will not have disappointed me. (And THE LAST BATTLE contains a distinct if subtle hint that Aslan *would* say that about the dwarves -- for he says, about them...

That is a moving plea, Kate. I don't know what Aslan would say, obviously, but I hope he would say something like what Apollo said: The...

Good luck with your blog posts tonight and thereafter -- and with the book whose title came to you in the shower. I wonder whether your belief in the "Law of Attraction" might make particularly appealing for you a scene (which I myself confess I v...

Magnificent questions! And I will address them in the blog post I promised earlier. Issues of free will come into it as well, obviously. A big promise, I know... :-) I'm going to try to do a blog post tonight, but it's going to be on Tolkien's...

I have always found the TTC to be far and away the most inspiring and insightful of any of the holy books in the world. This despite the fact that the various translations all sound so very different…

Hey Jeff,
I love this - I’ve never read the TTC before. And thank you for including my article on here as related reading, much appreciated.

Kara-Leah, you would LOVE the Tao te Ching. Get thee hence immediately to one of the online translations. Better yet, go to the library and check out the translation by Jane English and Gia-Fu Feng, that’s my favorite. I have some examples of their translations here, as well. Gorgeous stuff.
