A Severe Mercy
Author: Sheldon Vanauken

A Severe Mercy is an autobiographical book by Sheldon Vanauken, relating the author's relationship with his wife, their friendship with C. S. Lewis, conversion to Christianity and subsequent tragedy.

The book is, in a sense, made up of two distinct parts: the first chronicles the love story of Vanauken and his wife, a love he refers to as pagan. The couple pledged always to put their love before all else, and the intensity of their devotion to one another and their exclusivity makes up the early chapters.

However, as Vanauken and his wife, Davy, explore Christianity and are gradually converted, the primacy of their love for one another comes into question for both of them--though Vanauken's conversion is somewhat slower and more reluctant.

His analysis is aided by a correspondence with C.S. Lewis, then an Oxford Don, and some of Lewis's letters are reprinted in the book. Vanauken's circle of Oxford acquaintances includes other recognizable names as well, including Catholic priest Julian Stead, who went on to author books of religious poetry and a noted text on St. Benedict's rule of life.

Pastoring Men
Author: Patrick Morley

Our main task is to present the gospel of Jesus in such a way that it helps men change the core affections of their hearts so they want to be disciples. Discipleship is not merely presenting the right information through teaching and preaching—although that is important.

Discipleship includes everything that moves men along toward spiritual maturity. How do we do that? It could be a sermon, an encouraging or inspiring word in the hall, an unforgettable solo, getting a cup of coffee together, a Sunday school lesson, a home Bible study, a hug, a small-group experience.

It also includes acts of service, such as teaching Sunday school, volunteering to work in the homeless shelter, leading someone to Christ, giving or getting a meal when sick, or setting up chairs for the mission conference—anything that moves a man forward in Christ. Build around relationships, not programs.

Discipleship is more relationship than task. Love them from the front, but then get them into “life on life” groups
of all kinds (e.g., home groups, couples’ groups, men’s groups).
