The intensity of her prayer, sacrifice, and service to the poor won her a reputation for holiness and wisdom, and she was called upon to make peace between warring nobles. ![]() ![]() An extraordinarily active, intelligent, and courageous woman, Catherine at an early age devoted herself to the love of God. Catherine of Siena was a particular favorite of Undset, who also was a Third Order Dominican. Their exemplary lives left a deep impression upon the author, an impression Undset credited as one of her reasons for entering the Church in 1924. Her meticulous research of medieval times, which bore such fruit in her multi-volume masterpieces Kristin Lavransdatter and The Master of Hestviken, acquainted her with some of the holy men and women produced by the Age of Faith. One of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century, Undset was no stranger to hagiography. Known for her historical fiction, which won her the Nobel Prize for literature in 1928, Undset based this factual work on primary sources, her own experiences living in Italy, and her profound understanding of the human heart. Sigrid Undset's Catherine of Siena is critically acclaimed as one of the best biographies of this well known, and amazing fourteenth-century saint. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Since independent ability, like independent right-eousness, is a delusion, why would a God of perfect wisdom ask inadequate people to do such an important job? The answer is so crucial to grasp. None of us has the natural storehouse of wisdom, strength, patience, mercy, and perseverance that every parent needs in order to do his or her job well. ![]() It's not a sign of personal weakness or failure of character to feel unable as a parent. God did not create human beings to be independently able he designed us to be dependent. The reason for this is that there are no able people out there. The disciples weren't able, and the story goes on. If you read your Bible carefully, you will understand that God doesn't call able people to do important things. God doesn't call people to be parents because they are able. Understanding God's grace will change you, and as it changes you, it will change the way you relate to and parent your children. There is nothing more important to consistent, faithful, patient, loving, and effective parenting than to understand what God has given you in the grace of his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. ![]() ![]() ![]() Staniland, who had a keen interest in contemporary literature and owned a first edition of T.S. It was at this time that she met and married her first husband, Alan G. Unable to study English Literature, because she was never taught Latin or Greek, she took a diploma in journalism at London University (1925–1928), and wrote two novels under her own name in the early 1930s.

Muir uses horror to talk about the Id and uses a cosmic futuristic setting to talk about existence. What We Do In The Shadows is satire and this is pure black comedy, specifically grotesque humor. But then people start getting murdered and they actually have to come face-to-face with what is beneath their ambition and their surface level humor.ĭo you remember that scene in What We Do In The Shadows, where Taika Waititi’s character plays music and gives his date a rose and while she’s telling him about her future ambitions he awkwardly bites her neck but he hits an artery, causing an unimaginable amount of blood to spill out everywhere even though he spread out towels everywhere? That balance of macabre and awkward hilarity is this book.īoth What We Do In The Shadows and Gideon the Ninth utilize the dark and deadpan flavor of Kiwi humor. Here’s my sell: Close corners mystery in a gothic castle but set on a planet, where necromancers and sword masters, half arrogant and half cool weirdos with gallows humor and dad jokes, must compete for God’s ultimate test. “I’m begging you here-I’ll trade you a skin mag.
