    About this audiobook

    I am fifty-five years old and, with the exception of the fourteen or fifteen years of my childhood, I have been until recently a "Nihilist" in the proper signification of that term. I have not been a Socialist or Revolutionist, but a Nihilist in the sense of being completely without faith. Five years ago I began to believe in the doctrine of Christ, and in consequence a great change has been wrought in me. I now no longer care for the things that I had prized, and I have begun to desire things concerning which I had formerly been indifferent. Like a man who, going out on business, on his way suddenly becomes convinced of the futility of that business and turns back; and all that stood to the right now stands to the left, and all that was to the left is now to the right; his wish to be as far from home as possible is changed to the desire of being as near home as possible. For me, good and evil have changed places.

      Sep 13, 2018

      If You Have to Go, the new collection of poems by Katie Ford, is a book that conjures powers of possession. I feel that way about all of her books: Her poems bring me to a mystical plane somewhere between language and life. I’m left shaken. Her willi

      Very challenging and helpful. Don’t agree with everything but everyone should read this.

      Tolstoy is an idiot. He tries to wrap the Bible around his understanding of one of the Jesus’ speeches.
      Well, the gospel is multifaceted and he just didn’t figure out most important things, while focusing all along on the one of the most morally painful (unresistance to evil).
      And moreover, he understood it wrong.

      His attitude and people like him tolerated communists take over Russia, and kill over 70 millions of Russians.
      Don’t be like Toldtoy.
      Good Christians smash communists, evil shall not pass.
