A Contemplative Reader
@RevJayDenne
Reader of the mysterious, mystical, spiritual, and otherworldly. M.A. Byzantine Catholic Seminary J.D. University of Iowa Pastor & (almost retired) attorney



Western Nebraska, just past 168th and Dodge.



I joined BookTube to learn from people smarter than I am about literature, and that certainly happened in this fantastic discussion I had with @iSamw1se and fantasy lit scholar Paul Williams about Orson Scott Card's 'Tales of Alvin Maker' series. youtu.be/nRd8jbvLzho?si…





Today, I repay the favor to @RevJayDenne of A Contemplative Reader fame for having me on to discuss Born Again by having him on my channel to discuss Craig Thompson's Blankets! Check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=ynM03g…





Gothic castle? Check. Macabre humor? Check. Beautiful, atmospheric prose? Check. If those things appeal to you in a book, you might enjoy my chat with @PhilipChase90 about "Titus Groan" of the Gormenghast series by Mervyn Peake. youtu.be/uafplxpGqJ8?si…








The Prophet of Edan: A Spiritual Perspective (plus audiobook review). More excellence in religious + mythological worldbuilding from @PhilipChase90. youtu.be/3r2pjF0cn14?si…









@PhilipChase90 "Discovery" by @jajminton was a joy to read recently, and I can't wait for Strange Eons #2.
