In her new book, “Break, Blow, Burn, and Make: A Writer’s Thoughts on Creation,” E. Lily Yu meditates on reading, writing, and creativity—both celebrating and lamenting the current condition of these holy pursuits. “I think the vast majority of human beings have lost a great deal of the ability to concentrate for extended periods of time on complicated and ambiguous texts and on complicated and ambiguous art in general.” https://lnkd.in/gR2rmkPq

“The biggest driver of many Christians’ skepticism of paternity leave is the same as in the culture at large: simple inertia. People didn’t use to have the luxury of paid paternity leave, they reason, and they managed to make do. Having dad at home is an extravagance the baby won’t even remember.
