Show Notes

God created us as story-creatures and, as such, we relate to and are shaped by stories. Reading and enjoying fiction is not a silly diversion but can be a powerful source of spiritual transformation. Trevin Wax and I explore this theme in our discussion of Victor Hugo’s vast novel Les Miserables.

Recommended Reading

Trevin’s new book that helps readers access Chesterton’s Orthodoxy.

The specific translation of Les Miserables we recommend.
