Wiener humorously describes the employee perks at the office (“a miniature theme park” with a wraparound bar, a roof deck, a speakeasy), though she decided to primarily work from home “in sagging leggings.” Wiener writes of how she struggled to be taken seriously in a male-dominated industry that lacked diversity attended lavish work events-at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Lake Tahoe-while San Francisco’s homeless population increased communicated with coworkers using just emoji and watched 20-somethings get rich overnight.

To begin, we could do worse than to simply quote the publisher’s blurb for the book: As Lewis himself said, “We have to be continually reminded of what we believe.” The book has its theological imperfections - Lewis was the first to admit he was not a theologian - yet despite that fact, this is a book from which every Christian can profit. If you have not read it, it is a must-read, and if you have read it, it is worth rereading. Although it has become fashionable among some to dismiss Mere Christianity as “dated,” Lewis’ book remains as important now as when it was published in 1942-44 and is eminently worth reading. This is a book that may be over-distributed (too many editions), over-quoted (I’m as guilty as anyone) and overpriced (in some versions), but it is seldom overrated. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ice castles are normal in cold winters, when the water freezes into huge structures around waterfalls.
