Hiya guys! Has anyone here read the entire Wars of the Realm series? I just finished them a few days ago.

@dragon-snapper @perfectfifths Hey! I’m homeschooled too. Being homeschooled rocks, right? And I’ve heard the term ‘unpack’ too, it must be cool teacher slang or something. It can get a little annoying, but there are worse “cool” words. Like, I don’t love the word “dude.” Like, it’s fine occasionally, but hey, when people say it repeatedly……[Read more]

Anne-of-Lothlorien P.S The Charge of the Light Brigade is really good-I’m not sure if anyone else recommended that?

@perfectfifths He’s so good! 🙂
@dragon-snapper Question: What slang do you think Aussies use? I was just intrigued!

@dragon snapper LOL! Perhaps. True-blue, fair dinkum Aussie slang can be pretty rare…you’d probably find that if you came here and started speaking what you believe is “normal” here, you might be surprised. We’re don’t use it as much as you might think, I think we just make out like it’s this massive thing to tease you Americans. Gotta say…[Read more]

Wow I’ve heard of him! I’ve read Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper and he quoted Jonathan Edwards quite a bit. He sounded really good. Whenever I think of the term “philosopher” I think of Socrates, Plato, et cetera, but it’s nice to be reminded that there’s a Christian side to it!
-
Yes! John Piper actually chose Jonathan Edwards as the one theologian he would try to study the most of. There’s a John Piper book I’m reading that is split into two parts. The first part is Piper deconstructing Edwards and analyzing his work. The second part is one of Edwards’ greatest works, “The End For Which God Created The World.” The book…[Read more]

And, surprisingly, I actually don’t read much of Plato or Socrates. I mostly read of philosophers in the last four centuries with an emphasis on the modern (cuz they’re easier to read) 😀

@that_writer_girl_99 @dragon_snapper @perfectfifths You’ll never believe this, but I was just wondering a couple of days ago if Americans think we use weird slang all the time. I can’t believe this!!! So, um, do we? I don’t think so. @perfectfifths will verify me. I love Australia!!! The place where we live we see roos all the time, some of…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya Just wondering :). He’s about the only philosopher I’ve heard of and actually read some of his work :P. He was a really great author though.
-
@emily-d Ok. I should probs check him out. Philosophy in general is such a vast field that it’s hard to find good people in it. I normally read of the erroneous views of old-timey people like Nietzsche and Voltaire. But now I’m trying to saturate myself with the Christian philosophers (aka theologians) like Jonathan Edwards.

@mark-kamibaya Hi! I saw that you like philosophy. Just wondering, do you like Francis Shaeffer’s books?
-
@emily-d I’m not familiar with Shaeffer. I did google him though and I recognize one of his books–True Spirituality. Why do you ask?
