Reading As A Superpower

from Crack The Book: A Beginner's Guide to Reading the Great Books

This week is a treat! A few weeks ago I joined Fr. Brian McGreevy for a talk at St. Philip’s Theology on Tuesdays, a biweekly group of young adults who meet at Henry’s on the Market in Charleston. Most weeks they talk about aspects of Christian living or theology—this week is was books and the WHY of reading.Fr. Brian shares some interesting statistics on reading, and the benefits it has for your brain. It won’t surprise long-time listeners that I wanted to talk about how reading great books can change your heart. This conversation was the first one I’ve had about books in front of a group, so I’m especially eager to share it here. I hope you enjoy it!LINKMore episodes of Theology on Tuesdays from St. Philip's Church in CharlestonThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes (Amazon affiliate links): https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rCONNECTTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ Like what you heard?
