The Descending Blue: 2011-07-31
http://thedescendingblue.blogspot.com/2011_07_31_archive.html
Thursday, August 04, 2011. Pentheus learns the lesson that man is limited and if he tries to overreach those boundaries then he will be punished for his folly. The Chorus sings,. Unwise are those who aspire,. Who outrange the limits of man. Briefly, we live. Briefly,. Then die. Wherefore, I say,. He who hunts a glory, he who tracks. Some boundless, superhuman dream,. May lose his harvest here and now. And garner death. Such men are mad…. He] now revolts against divinity, in me;. Links to this post. It...

The Descending Blue: Silence
http://thedescendingblue.blogspot.com/2012/03/silence.html
Thursday, March 01, 2012. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. Moving. The book is written in simple, yet elegant, prose. Poetic at points. It takes place during the 1600s when Japan was in its early stages of being Christianized. At the height of its growth there were about 300,000 Christians in Japan at this time. Early in that century, several Japanese rulers turned against the Christians and started a devastating persecution. What does God do with these Christians? Overall, well worth the read. The Word of God i...

The Descending Blue: The Wednesday Wars
http://thedescendingblue.blogspot.com/2012/03/wednesday-wars.html
Thursday, March 01, 2012. By Gary D. Schmidt. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. A fun children's story that has some very humorous lines and moments. The scene with the rats was incredible. I read it aloud to Kate and we both laughed out loud numerous times. It also weaves a good bit of Shakespeare into the story which makes one want to go and re-read the plays mentioned. Overall, a really fun romp through the 1960s. View all my reviews. Nice article, thanks for sharing. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Simple...
