A.S. Peterson has crafted a work of compelling historical fiction which begs the question, “Can this really be a debut novel?” With dogged fidelity, Peterson captures the spirit, manners, and social conditions present during the American Revolutionary War. We meet colorful, credible characters who navigate the high seas of life and love, dependence and independence, war and peace, truth and consequence, and despite forays into dark places, The Fiddler’s Gun is beautiful, lyrical, and redemptive.
Curt, dude, you could read the phone book and I’d listen. Seriously, there are so many folks that I need to send this podcast. I pray that I will listen to it the next time I am in the midst of pain and either trying to make light of it (as is my tendency) or drowning in it. Thank you.
Thanks, Curt. Great words. And yes, it sounds good. Wanna read an audio book for me?
Curt,
My pastor says often “God allows what He hates, to accomplish what He loves.” That little phrase has carried the day for those us he shepherds in our local faith community and beyond.
I loved the Caedmon’s Call reference. That line has always resonated with me too.
By the way, I have a map of the U.S. right in front of my desk in my office. I looked up just now and see that Nebraska is at the center of my gaze. As often as I remember, I’ll pray “God bless Curt!” — part homage to Julie Andrews (Sound of Music) and fully thankful for mirth and musings of “Movie Man” McLey.
Barliman,
This podcast is yet another excellent wrinkle to the overall Rabbit Room concept. You are truly a blessing to the Body of Christ. God bless you son.
Thanks Curt. A needed reminder.
Thanks for the kind words and support.
sevenmiles - I don’t like whining, so sometimes I avoid prayers that seem to me to be self-indulgent whining. I’m trying to learn that God wants me to cast All my cares upon Him, even those that seem trivial. I do try to frame my prayers in an optimistic, postive light. After all, if we go into prayer with a faith attitude, we should have the assurance that our prayer will be answered in the best way possible, even if that means more tough times. As I learned from experience, sometimes that means I’ll be navigating more pain for awhile. Maybe that’s why Roman 8:28 is so inspirational.
Sam - When your book goes audio, let me know. I’d love to be the reader for it.
Tony - “God allows what He hates, to accomplish what He loves.”
I’ll have to chew on that one for awhile, but I think I like it. It surely applies to sending His Son, in the most maximum way possible.
Thanks for the prayers, Tony. I really appreciate it. I don’t appreciate being identified with The Sound of Music. That’s almost as much of a stigma as being identified with Titanic, which inadvertently happened to me on the AP message board many moons ago. Unfortunately, honestly compels me to admit that I’m a fan of both movies. But I like football too, so don’t get wrong idea. Da-Bears.
Aaron - It’s always good to hear from you. On a personal note, thanks for the nice e-mail the other day. Keep playing your tunes, brother Aaron.
Excellent podcast entry, Curt! Very encouraging! It made me think, “Even when nuns take your starters, or Rex Grossman throws another interception… still even then my heart will go on!” Seriously, it was good stuff. And I’ll buy Sam’s audiobook to hear your voice some more!
I listened to this today while on the treadmill and it was extremely helpful and encouraging. Thank you for taking the time to put this down on electrons for download.
I hope this podcast doesn’t become short-lived (haven’t seen one in a couple of months) but even if it is, this one episode was worth all the efforts.
