I cannot believe it has been a year since we were reading Winters in the World together!!
Unfortunately I expect to have a fresh baby on November 15, so I will likely not be able to ask Grace my question in real time – I would love to pose a quandary with which I often wrestle myself, viz. how do we discern which "old paths" are the ones we should hearken to for deepening our relationship with Christ (e.g. the liturgical year, certain expressions of virtue) and which are "inapplicable" or at best, unhelpful (e.g. certain attitudes toward nature and creation which would be considered, both by Christian and scientific standards of this day and age, superstitious).
I would love to join this book club! I don't have a copy yet, so I'd like to enter the giveaway. One question for Grace: if you could magically acquire one virtue, which one would it be?
Yay! I love Medievalish! My question would be why has the medieval period in particular captured your imagination? Is it something specific to that time or more that it offers a corrective to our postmodern lens?
I probably won't be able to join on October 15 because we leave the country the next day and still have so much to do. I'm disappointed but hope you will post a recording for those of us who miss the live.
My question is similar to the one posed by Carolyn MK. What aspects of the "old paths" and the old ways does Grace consider most worthy of preserving in our modern age?
Oh!!! I’ve just finished reading Grace’s recent post on her time studying manuscripts at the Bodleian Library and how we should see language as a gift. To be mindful of the artistry of language but also of how we use it too. It was a personally-moving read for me. So, yes! I’ll be part of this new Book Club for certain. The book isn’t available to Australia yet but I’ll read it and catch up when it is.
I think I’d like to ask Grace if her passion and interest in medieval history and literature has changed over time because of her own experiences/spiritual and personal growth and her life as a mother. I’m wondering how it has morphed, stayed the same or led to new areas of interest in this field. It is because, like you, her enthusiasm is so vital and infectious.

Yay!! I was hoping this would be the book! I have a copy so I won’t enter the giveaway. I will definitely be thinking of questions for Grace!
I’m looking forward to this, this will be my first time joining your book club!

I’d love to know how you approach this topic with your children!
I’d love to ask the author how she first got diving into medieval times and what were the most surprising places she found material for research?

I just ordered it! I'm excited!
