I read Karasik and Mazzucchelli’s City of Glass in one brisk sitting and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have read Mazzucchelli’s excellent novel Asterios Polyp (and plenty of stuff by overseer Spiegelman), so the adaptation intrigued me. I should admit upfront that although I’ve read a few of Auster’s books, I haven’t read City of Glass, considered by many to be his masterpiece. Paul Auster’s 1985 novel City of Glass explores doubling, shadowing, and what it means to wear another person’s skin, so it’s fitting that the book has its own doppelgänger in the form of a graphic novel by Paul Karasik and David Mazzucchelli (maestro Art Spiegelman served as catalyst and counselor). ![]() ![]() ![]() I have a long to read list but I think I'm going to revisit a lot of the Anne Rice's soon having re-read Interview with the Vampire this year.

In Corinth at this time in history, a woman put aside as Medea has been losing all status and support, which is shown when Creon himself orders her out of the kingdom. This earlier history, which would have been known by the Greeks, should have been a warning to Jason. Nor does she have many friends in other lands because of her continued assistance to Jason. Because Medea defied her father’s wishes in helping Jason to survive the tests that were given him and helped him escape from Colchis with one of the prized treasures of the land, the Golden Fleece, killing her brother in the process, she does not have the option of returning to her family. Medea is a princess of Colchis and, at the start of Euripides’s play, she is just finding out that her husband, Jason, is leaving her for the daughter of Creon, the king of Corinth. ![]() The play ‘Medea’ written by Euripides is a Greek tragedy that tells the story of a woman who has been created in ancient Corinth. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It forces you to look at your own relationship with Jesus while trying to parent your children. Parenting by Paul David Tripp is a book that time and again points you back to Jesus. ![]() The first book on my list has honestly been an amazing, eye-opening resource for me. God made your child and is the ultimate authority on how to raise them. However, there is one thing that is imperative and that is parenting with a Christ-centered point of view. I love this approach because, as a mother of five, all of my kids require something different and unique approach.Įach child is different and will need a different method of parenting. None of these books give you a step-by-step formula for the perfect child but focus on your heart, your walk with Christ, and the heart of your child. There are some highly recommended books out there but I want to focus on my top three favorite Christ-centered parenting books. While there isn’t exactly a handbook, there is, of course, the Bible as well as biblically-based parenting books. Parenting is not an easy task but the great news is that there are amazing resources available for parents. ![]() ![]() ![]() But Sidhean has already claimed Ash for his own, and she must make a choice between fairy tale dreams and true love.Īlso there’s a prince, but in a delightful subversion no one cares about the prince except as a possible long-shot husband for one of the stepsisters, and even then their Plan A is to marry above their station but not as high as the Prince.
