Description

Calling all booklovers! We didn’t set out to record an episode about reading, but…it happened! In today’s episode, you’ll hear my sister, Elizabeth Carpenter, and I talk about one of our favorite topics: books! We actually don’t recommend a whole lot of books, but we focus on the value of reading and how it can benefit our spiritual lives. If you’ve ever wondered…

  • Is reading fiction worth my time?

  • Why do stories matter?

  • Why did Jesus tell so many stories?

  • How is reading a book different from reading a long Instagram caption or article online?

  • How to choose books carefully

  • Why books really are always better than movies! 

Stay tuned for a blog post of more book recommendations, but until then, here are the ones we mentioned today:
