A Literary Journey: Reshaping Perspectives Through Timeless Books

A Burden For The Times

Ever wondered what books can reshape your perspective on race, work, or even your own identity? Our latest episode takes you on a literary expedition, where you'll journey through thought-provoking works from "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius to "The Myth of Sisyphus" by Albert Camus. We'll share how these classics hold profound relevance in our contemporary world and discuss how balancing our career motives with secular or religious worldviews can be a delicate act, guided by insights from Tim Keller's "Every Good Endeavor." It's not just a podcast; it's a roundtable of diverse recommendations and a deep dive into the power of the written word.
Hold on to your bookmarks, because we're about to reveal our personal bookshelves - the good, the bad, and the enlightening. You'll get a taste of everything from "Destiny of the Republic" by Candace Millard to the managerial wisdom found within "It's Okay to Be the Boss." Hear about the books that struck a chord with us and the ones we decided to close early. We also tackle the challenging yet essential question: which reads are absolutely vital outside of Scripture? Our conversation delves through genres and centuries, exploring the enduring impact of literature on faith, personal growth, and the human condition.
