Ep. 13 - The Book Thief

In this episode, we turn to Markus Zusak’s *The Book Thief,* a novel that bears witness to the life of a young girl in Nazi Germany as she navigates profound loss, unexpected connection, and life-giving friendship—all told from the vantage point of Death itself.   Reading it in conversation with Esther 3 and 9 and Mark 13, we discuss the power of words to shape the world, the difficult work of discerning God’s presence, and the intimate relationship between the heavens and the earth.   Timestamps: 1:27 – Experiencing *The Book Thief* 43:57 – Emily on Esther 3&9 1:26:21 – Tommy on Mark 13 1:59:98 – Next month’s book    Up Next: *Homegoing* by Yaa Gyasi   Connect with Us: Email: [email protected]  Website: https://holywritpod.podbean.com/  Instagram: @holywritpodcast TikTok: @holywritpodcast  YouTube: @HolyWritPodcast
