Christians often wrestle with a number of questions about what to read—specifically whether or not a book should be read at all. Does it help us love the Lord more fully? Does it lure us toward evil? On this week’s episode of Reading Writers, Andy Naselli joins me to talk about the conscience, and offers some guidance on how to obey it as readers. Along the way, we cover some of the burning questions you didn’t even know you were asking!
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Me ask Andy a really unfair question;
- Whether or not slow readers should try to change their speed;
- Which books Andy would recommend to someone looking to grow in their knowledge and love for God; and
- The most important literary showdown of one generation: Narnia vs Potter.
