Wat is de schepping?De schepping is de som van al Gods Gedachten, oneindig in getal en overal totaal zonder beperkingen. Alleen liefde schept, en alleen als zichzelf. Er is geen tijd geweest waarin al wat zij geschapen heeft er niet was. Noch zal er een tijd zijn waarin wat zij ook schiep enig verlies lijdt. Voor eeuwig en altijd zijn Gods Gedachten precies zoals ze waren en zoals ze zijn, onveranderd door de tijd heen en nadat de tijd voorbij is.Aan Gods Gedachten is alle macht gegeven die hun eigen Schepper heeft. Want Hij wil aan liefde toevoegen door haar uit te breiden. Zo heeft Zijn Zoon...

Un paese della Calabria, tre ragazzi che non sanno cosa faranno non solo "dopo l'estate", ma della propria vita: l'Europa, l'Altaitalia, un posto al Comune, un viaggio per il mondo? Ma andarsene significa anche interrompere una storia che invece va strappata al silenzio, come si strappano le erbe e i rovi per salvare un albero. Una storia che illumina ragioni e desideri contrastanti che stanno dietro tante discussioni sui giovani ex-pat.

It is of course the inimitable, the unconquerable, the inexhaustible Jo Piazza, all of whose adjectives require me to use spell check. I am a long time fan of Jo, and she’s been on the pod before—see also Episode 393, I Want to Sell Books, But I’m Also Writing What I Want to Write. She is the author of, most recently, The Sicilian Inheritance and coming soon, Everyone Is Lying to You, which started out as a serial in her weekly email/Substack, Over the Influence.

We loved this novel set in 1920s NYC because it reminds us that we are human beings first and foremost. We talked about how women in the financial world, especially, were seen as the weaker, less intelligent sex, even though they had the right to vote. A woman stockbroker? Shocking! We talked about the family dynamics at play in this story - a mother who thought her son could do no wrong, a father and brother who encouraged our protagonist, Bea, at a time when nobody else did. We ...

Sometimes the tricks don’t end with Halloween and even the best sweet potato casserole can’t make up for the stress of listening to your dad go on yet another political rant. But Constant Readers may rest assured that no matter what horrors may lie under your granny’s covered casserole dish, they won’t be as bad as the terrible families lurking in King’s ...
