The One Definitive Account of God’s Purposes
Two from Al Mohler on the Christian worldview as master narrative. (More to come, I think.)
Feast for the Eye and Mind
I’ve just begun reading Nancy Pearcey’s new book Saving Leonardo, which is, according to the subtitle, A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on Mind, Morals, & Meaning. Al Mohler says that in this book “Pearcey provides a penetrating analysis of the nature of contemporary secularism, a helpful exposition of how we got to the present situation, and a well-crafted strategy for changing the situation.” And, he goes on, “Saving Leonardo should be put in the hands of all those who should always be ready to give an answer — and that means all of us.”
I haven’t read much of it, but what I have read tells me I’ve going to find it to be pleasurable and worthwhile read. I know this for sure: Saving Leonardo is a beautiful book. No wonder Makoto Fujimura calls it “[a] feast for the mind and for the eye.” I haven’t read a book as aesthetically pleasing as this in a very long time. It’s large, with glossy white pages, lots of full-colour illustrations, and an exceptional binding. I want to call it text-book quality, if there is such a thing. Perhaps you’ve been looking at the price and thinking that it’s a little steep; I know I did. But the quality makes the book a bargain at its slightly higher than usual price.
