Description
Living Wisely with the Church FathersThe first centuries of Christianity are like a far country. But despite their foreignness, they hold a treasury of wisdom for living. Early Christians struggled and flourished in a culture that was in love with empire and military power, infatuated with sex and entertainment, tolerant of all gods but hostile to the One. And from this crucible of discipleship they extracted lessons of virtue, faithfulness, and joy in Christ. Christopher Hall takes us
The first centuries of Christianity are like a far country. But despite their foreignness, they hold a treasury of wisdom for living. Early Christians struggled and flourished in a culture that was in love with empire and military power, infatuated with sex and entertainment, tolerant of all gods but hostile to the One. And from this crucible of discipleship they extracted lessons of virtue, faithfulness, and joy in Christ. Christopher Hall takes us to the ancient Mediterranean world, inquiring Christian leaders how to live a good life as a Christ follower. The menu of topics wends its way through wealth and poverty, war and violence, marriage and sexuality, theater and the arena, as well as the harsh realities of persecution and martyrdom. Gathering around Basil or Chrysostom or Augustine, we are instructed anew in the way of discipleship. And as they grapple with issues surprisingly resonant with our own, this cloud of ancient witnesses both surprises and challenges us in the life of faith.Binding Type: Paperback

Science Fiction at its best.
Format: Hardcover
A hard sci-fi take on our hero. Still much to uncover in later volumes, but I am ready for the ride.

hard to go wrong with Jeff Lemire.
Format: Kindle
Take all the pieces of the puzzle that is the Flash legacy, shake them up and put them all together into a completely different picture. That gives you some idea of what is going on in this book. Not always successful but always very interesting.

Good start
Format: Kindle
It's not a bad start. Fraction has always been hit and miss with me, but this series looks promising so far. I liked Bruce trying to connect with Croc instead of fighting him. I don't like the blue and gray suit; never have, but I do like the upgrades. I don't care for Jimenez's art and was hoping for a different artist.
Overall, it's interesting enough to check out. It would be nice to get more pages of story for $4.99,though. I will be back next month to see where the story goes.
