  • 0 Comments
Photo CBN.com It’s sixty-seven A.D. Nero is burning Rome to the ground and blaming Paul the apostle of Tarsas for the destruction. And yet the new movie, Paul the Apostle, has the feel of the 21st century from the very first scene. Although imprisoned in his dungeon, the man called Paul inspires terror in the […]

The four stumbling blocks to truth: The influence of fragile or unworthy authority Custom The imperfection of undisciplined senses Concealment of ignorance by ostentation of seeming wisdom. For more years than I can count, these beautifully calligraphed four stumbling blocks to truth have been displayed prominently in a simple bronze frame, protected by glass. My […]

Seize the Day, Paradox of Hollywood and How Dogs Inspire

  ‘Seize the day’, ‘the paradox of Hollywood’ and ‘how dogs inspire’: Do those three phrases even relate to one another? No, of course they don’t. But every once in a while a newsletter format works because it permits thoughts on a few unrelated subjects. Like these. First up, Seize the Day: While driving home […]

The Wise Men

  The wise men. Each year I think of them. These unnamed men who somehow journeyed to a manger in Bethlehem perhaps many thousands of miles from their homes. Where an infant lay amidst straw. Accompanied by, we are told, a number of animals. Maybe donkeys, a lamb or two, some cattle and shepherds. In […]

Change, Ecclesiastes, Riverbend Church and Matthew McConaughey

The correlation between change and Ecclesiastes is not an association I ever made.   But then I’ve not considered the words in the third chapter of Ecclesiastes in any other than a superficial way: To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time […]

Living Your Life or Someone Else’s?

  • Posted by Lin Wilder
  • On September 10, 2017
  • 0 Comments
Are you living your life or someone else’s? Ever asked yourself that question? Silly question? And thinking it impossible to live another’s life? Humor me. For just a few minutes, please. From childhood, we learn by mimicking, listening, reading, studying the words and actions of others. We learn too from experimenting with tools, ideas and attitudes: […]

Child, have none told you? God is in your soul!

Child, have none told you? God is in your soul. That line, that stunning, arresting line is from a poem by Jessica Powers. Remember the Hallmark cards of a couple of decades ago? That is how I remembered Jessica Powers until today.  August 18, the anniversary of her death in 1988. When I learned that Powers […]

Love: I Know Nothing About It

  • Posted by Lin Wilder

  • 0 Comments
“Love: I know nothing about it.” My statement was in reply to a priest who had asked if anything was wrong.  Mass had ended and there I sat, alone in the big, cold New England Catholic Church. Staring at the quintessence of agony: the crucified Christ. Instead of coming to console with words or presence, […]

Sorry for the deception in the title but there is only one reason that Do You Solemnly Swear? audio book is late.  We fell behind in the schedule. Way behind. But now that I have your attention, what do you think of the new ad which will begin running soon in Publisher’s Weekly? This will […]

Settling for Bette Midler’s God?

  • Posted by Lin Wilder
  • On July 23, 2017
  • 0 Comments
“I think most of us are settling for Bette Midler’s God.” It was a terrific headline. Hardly what anyone expects a priest to say when starting his homily on a Bible passage. The priest smiled at the cognitive dissonance apparent in the expressions of each of us seated in front of him at Thursday’s daily […]

About Lin Wilder

I, Claudia was a winner in the IAN Best Books of 2019;
A finalist in the literary/general fiction category. Claudia has now won four awards. But Malthus Revisited keeps winning them. At eight awards, Malthus is the leader, by far.

Finally, I am closing in on My Name is Saul. The first iteration of the book will be done shortly.

Saul is complex, multifaceted and riddled with contradictions. Much of his story has been surprising-even shocking- as I have written it. And that term “written” assumes control. It is, after all, an active verb. But the truth is that the writer serves as a conduit. Cypher.

Weird, I know but accurate.

As always, thanks for checking out About Lin Wilder!
