Why Chosen
The first chapters are so beautiful. They convey a rich theological imagination that inspires reflection, and the musical themes are especially meaningful and compelling to me. I began to share this book with my children during the time I was working toward promotion to full professor. Works of art like this, and sharing them with the people you love, are some of the great joys that give life meaning.
