34. Anna Karenina, Part VIII
<p>Listen to Shanna and Janice as they discuss the books they’re reading and the final part of Anna Karenina. It’s been an exciting book. Learn how this story ends and the wrap-up conversation and ramblings of the two hosts.</p><p>Commonplace Quote</p><p>3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.</p><p>5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. 6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. ~ Psalm 37:3-6</p><p></p><p>We all want truth, that truth that which Jesus promise would make us free. But where do we find it? How could it have happended that even in the church, story has been lost as a vehicle of truth? Early in our corruption we are taught that fiction is not true. Too many people apologize when they are caught enjoying a book of fiction; they are afrad that it will be considered a waste of time and that they ought to be reading a biography or a book of information on how to pot plants. Is Jane Eyre not true? Did Conrad, turning to the writing of fiction in his sixties, not search for truth? Was Melville, writing about the sea and the the great conflict between man and whale, not delving for a deeper truth than we can find in any number of how-to books?</p><p>And Shakespeare and all the other dramatists before and after him! Are they not revealers of truth? ~ Madeleine L’Engle</p><p>Books Mentioned</p><p>Learning to Love the Psalm, Ligonier MinistriesWalking on Water: Reflections on Faith & Art, Madeliene L’EngleWrinkle in Time, Madeleine L’Engle</p><p><p>Thanks for listening to Readings and Ramblings!

33. Anna Karenina, Part VII
<p>Listen to Shanna and Janice as they discuss the books they’re reading and Part VII of Anna Karenina.</p><p>Commonplace Quotes</p><p>The first demand any work of any art makes upon us is Surrender. Look. Listen. Receive. Get yourself out of the way.</p><p>~ C.S. Lewis</p><p>“I was the lion who forced you to join with Aravis. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. I was the lion who gave the Horses the new strength of fear for the last mile so that you should reach King Lune in time. And I was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you.”</p><p>“Then it was you who wounded Aravis?” </p><p>“It was I.” </p><p>“But what for?” </p><p>“Child,” said the voice, “I am telling you your story, not hers. I tell no one any story but his own.”</p><p>~ The Horse and His Boy, C.S. Lewis</p><p>Books Mentioned</p><p>Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art, Madeleine L'EngleThe Horse and His Boy, C.S. Lewis</p><p><p>Thanks for listening to Readings & Ramblings!

32. Anna Karenina, Part VI
<p>Listen to Shanna and Janice as they discuss the books they’re reading and Part VI of Anna Karenina.</p><p>Commonplace Quotes</p><p>I saw a young mother With eyes full of laughter And two little shadows Came following after. Wherever she moved, They were always right there Holding onto her skirts, Hanging onto her chair. Before her, behind her - An adhesive pair. 'Don't you ever get weary As, day after day, your two little tagalongs Get in your way? ' She smiled as she shook Her pretty young head, And I'll always remember The words that she said. 'It's good to have shadows That run when you run, That laugh when you're happy And hum when you hum - For you only have shadows When your life's filled with sun. ~ Anonymous</p><p>But perhaps he was happiest, in reflection, about the other waiting, the times when the temptation to have it all had been nearly unbearable, but they had drawn back, obeying God’s wisdom for their lives. The drawing back had shaken him, yes, and shaken her, for their love had exposed their desire in a way they;d never known before. Yes, His grace had made them able to wait, to concentrate on the approaching feast instead of the present hunger.</p><p>Books Mentioned</p><p>A Common Life, Jan Karon</p><p><p>Thanks for listening to Readings & Ramblings!
