What is the greatest power in the universe; the ability to create. If one were to look at the power of God in the Bible, the first verse is “In the beginning God created…” People today are drowning in existential mediocrity!

“You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.”

If you haven’t already read Fahrenheit 451, I strongly recommend it. Keep in mind that it was written before headphones, big screen TVs, and the internet. All of these inventions were prophesied by the author.

Today, we need to connect with literature more than ever! My goal in writing this blog is to help people exercise their own creativity, connect with ancient and contemporary man through the written word, and be mindful of influences pervading our society.
