I was given a copy of the original Peter Pan story (not the Disney paraphrase) for free by a local school library that was having a clear out, so I figured I'd give it a read. Peter Pan is one of THE great fictional characters - its his childishness that gives him his strengths as well as his flaws - and although this is definitely a children's book, its still a great example of creative writing, and how I like it, with the absurd passed off as just as natural as the eminently plausible. A classic work of fiction no doubt.

Two Covenants was a great book. The Old Covenant being "Obey My voice and I will be your God" and the New Covenant being "I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put My fear into their hearts, that they shall not depart from Me" - thus being a better Covenant, where God will not only keep His part (as He did in the first), but will also undertake to ensure that we will keep ours (whereas previously we could only break it) by giving us everything we need to keep it. This theology was pretty ground-breaking for me, to see it put together so clearly like it was in this book. Gonna keep going back to it, I think, as a point of reference.

Up next for me - The 5th and final volume of Dr Chriswell's series on Revelation, and The Word of God And The Word of Man - Karl Barth.
