It's just another thing I love about Little Big Man. He's read through Chosen by God twice. Holiness by Ryle is one of his favorite books, and the first genre of books finished on his reading list was theology/Christian living.
So last week during the big snowfall, he exits the kitchen after lifting up his cocoa in one hand and Frame's Systematic theology in the other and says with a big grin, "Aah, Frame and cocoa!"
I wish I could have gotten a picture of the expression on his face!
"Therefore, theology is not just an interest or hobby that we can add to our list of favorite activities and diversions. It pertains to the whole of our lives, and must shape and inform our thoughts and activities in every sphere of our existence."
~Nathan Pitchford & John Hendryx
Frame is a great author. He makes difficult theology very accessible. If you enjoy his writing style, I wold recommend his book The Doctrine of the Christian Life. It's quite a tome, but it is good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendation, Curtis! Little Big Man is enjoying Frame's writing. His main frustration is that Frame hedges on several issues instead of taking a strong position. Perhaps his other books aren't like that?
ReplyDeleteVery sweet!! How nice to see him enjoying this sort of thing at his age!!!! Just wonderful! I wish I had that kind of avid interest at that age....
