Well today is the official publication day for Galahad and the Grail in the US and I couldn’t be happier with this in-depth review In Christianity Today! christianitytoday.com/2026/04/arthur…

@ClarksonsFarm1 Yes! So many wonderful, nourishing conversations happen at the dinner table.

Who else thinks that family dinners at the table are still important?

I’ve always appreciated the art that accompanies @Plough articles. They really enrich the piece as thoughtful companions. Here’s a wonderful spread featuring work by Carlijn Kingma in “The Critique of Religion” article by @kingholeung

Making space on the bookshelf right now.

@NewAmv @malcolmguite @stephencrotts Not sure yet. Just started reading.

@calebcole_ @malcolmguite @stephencrotts Does this retelling have the serene where Galahad confronts the ghost in the tomb? I always loved that set piece but alot of retellings leave it out.

There’s something magical about Galahad and the Grail by @malcolmguite and @stephencrotts Not just the story, but the object itself. There’s care in every detail. It’s a beautiful reminder that craftsmanship still matters.

@SketchesbyBoze @malcolmguite Massively excited for this. I’ve preordered and joined a book discussion group! @malcolmguite and @stephencrotts have truly made something spectacular.

Galahad and the Grail, the new book by @malcolmguite, is a revelation. In every line you can feel his urgency to recover lost modes of being: poetry, chivalry, the great myths & legends, the natural world. He seeks to revive King Arthur for a world in danger of forgetting him.

@Andrewnsnyder @Mythic_Mind That’s fantastic Andrew! Already can’t wait to read it.

I just signed my first publishing contract! New book on Tolkien coming 2025!

@Andrewnsnyder Excellent. Always thankful for your book recommendations.

These are both very strong texts. The Philosophy of Tolkien is great if you have not studied much philosophy OR if you just want to get even more pumped about how good Tolkien is The Flame Imperishable is a great guide toward a deeper philosophical approach to Tolkien.

@joynessthebrave @Plough Something exploring the work of Hayao Miyazaki.

Very excited to lead a call tonight brainstorming an issue of @Plough on the theme of Beauty. What and who would you like to read in that issue?

@iamfujimura @netflix Incredible movie. Best of 2023.

“Godzilla Minus One” is a profound meditation on postwar trauma. I did not expect a Godzilla movie to make me ponder deeply. #postdestruction @netflix

@SketchesbyBoze 13!

anyway how many of these do we share

what no one tells you is that you don’t have to abandon your joys and enthusiasms as you get older, you can simply burrow down into them, growing ever more niche and strange, like a swallow in her nest of grass.

@Andrewnsnyder Beautiful. Do you know the name of the painting?

"When the sailor is out on the ocean, when everything is changing all around him, when the waves are born and die, he does not stare down into the waves, because they are changing. He looks up at the stars. Why? Because they are faithful; they have the same location now that they had for our ancestors and will have for generations to come. By what means does he conquer the changeable? By the eternal. By the eternal, one can conquer the future, because the eternal is the ground of the future, and therefore through it the future can be fathomed.” - Kierkegaard, The Expectancy of Faith

@Andrewnsnyder What’s translation are you teaching through?

I’m having so much fun teaching Beowulf. At the beginning of each class, I throw a mead hall music and ambience video on the screen while a student, with gusto, recaps the story so far.

@drawnbydaniel Yesss!!!

RED ALERT 🚨 RED ALERT 🚨 Y'ALL ALREADY KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA BE DOIN ON DECEMBER 8

@joynessthebrave Agree with you on Pugh’s character, but Blunts character was much more than just an affair. Her role in the interrogation room was particularly impactful.

Oppenheimer’s portrayal of women is comically bad. The only women named have affairs with Oppenheimer, none of which advance the plot. Florence Pugh doesn’t need to be naked. I would have preferred no women to the sexualised objectification we got. What a waste of Pugh and Blunt!

@joelclarkson @Sally_Clarkson @clayclarkson @joynessthebrave Congratulations!

@Andrewnsnyder I’ve heard good things about this book. Definitely on my list!

He’s discussing several things I’m not familiar with, so I can’t give a critical review at this point, but this book is fascinating, to say the least. I think there’s a lot of good here.

@joelclarkson I couldn’t agree more!

@hendrixart I could see this being handy for design mockups.

now with Adobe getting into the AI space, it has become clear: the future for human illustrators is writing and ideas.
