Professor’s Pick: ‘Baby’ Whalen

Professor’s Pick: ‘Baby’ Whalen
Movie: Tender Mercies.
The late, great Peter Lawler described it as the most Christian movie ever made. Robert Duvall, great music, and mercy. What’s not to like?
Piece of Music: Kieth Jarrett’s album “The Melody at Night, with You”
I listen to this while grading papers, and it saves me from despair. Only someone who really loves Bach could play jazz like this.
Book: Eugene Vodolazkin’s Laurus
 
It is very difficult to write about a saint without being corny or preachy (those are technical literary terms), but Vodolazkin does it. Read and pray with this novel.
I’m attaching a couple pictures. Choose which works best.
If you need anything else, let me know.
