Summer Mail Bag

In this episode, Jordan and Brendan take some time to respond to listeners’ questions. They discuss the story of their own friendship, book recommendations for younger readers, the power of annotation, discerning helpful vs. harmful content in literature, whether Christian fiction is obligated to overtly evangelize, book vs. film adaptations, and whether you should make yourself read that super-long classic novel.
