Family first?

The Storm-Tossed Family: How the Cross Reshapes the Home
by Russell Moore (B&H Publishing Group, 2018) 

I came across a review of this book recently. In the midst of the busy-ness of life, I'm working through it.  My initial impression: it is a much-needed (in my life, at least) clarification, and even correction, of my understanding of family.  Recommended!

The cross means being willing to suffer when one does not have to suffer. 
- Wang Yi, quoted by Rod Dreher https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/tale-two-persecuted-pastors-wang-yi-john-gray/

a new mythology

"In the years between the world wars, a deep despair spreads over Europe. Most of the poetry, novels, and art of the period reflect cynicism or a crisis of faith. Not so with Lewis and Tolkien. Instead they introduce a new mythology, focused on honor, chivalry, and sacrifice in the face of evil."
