1984
George Orwell
In the futuristic society of 1984, we follow the struggle of one man against a world
in which his every move is monitored. Big Brother, the ever-present governmental system,
has fashioned a world in which freedom and choice are ideas of the past as not only
actions, but personal thought, is controlled. Truly thought-provoking, George Orwell's
novel inspires deep mediation on principles that we often take for granted, such as truth
and individuality.
Alex Cook '05

Gospel

Most of us believe in God's grace-- in theory. But somehow we can't seem to apply it
in our daily lives. We continue to see Him as a small-minded bookkeeper, tallying our
failures and successes on a score sheet, Yet God gives us His grace, willingly, no matter
what we've done. We come to Him as ragamuffins-- dirty, bedraggled, and beat-up. And when
we sit at His feet, He smiles upon us, the chosen objects of His "furious love."
