Another title started at The Convent, finished later. I usually have a hard time with Peterson’s language, but this was relatively easy to digest. He explores the practice of praying the Psalms in a monthly cycle, and the ways that they naturally provide a framework for prayer — for acknowledging God, for remembering, for praying in community, for praising and for cursing. He advocates praying them without worrying too much about the what and how and why of it. The rhythms and language will eventually work their way into you. It’s the thing to do, says the testimony of centuries of spiritual practitioners, and we’d be a little deaf to ignore their witness.

Previous Book: 57. Asterios Polyp. Next Book: 59. The trumpet of the swan.

Juvenile Nonfiction is Joshua Neds-Fox’s blog v.3, internetted lovingly to you from Detroit, Michigan.

I’m worth $1MM in prizes. I am without excuse.

I’ve redesigned this thing a mere two times. This is its third iteration. It’s using WordPress, for the first time. This theme was adapted from the standard, Kubrick. Border elements prefacing the ‘comments’ were graciously provided by Barrett Stanley, from his 100 Erased Lincolns.

I hope you’re happy.
