Half-Read

Right now, I am in the middle of A Severe Mercy, one of those books that has touched on the edges of my radar over the years, but I never picked up until a friend loaned it to me.  Poignant, elegant autobiographical story of love and coming to faith from the far end of intellectual skepticism, then having that faith tried in a severe way.  Having C.S. Lewis thrown into the actual mix -- the author and his wife spent time with him at Oxford -- makes it all the more compelling.  I will share more later, but I can already say I would recommend it as a bracing tonic for a tired faith.
