Listeners, welcome to the Good Faith podcast presentation of reading to make sense of the world.

Here at Good Faith Podcasts, we really believe great books are gifts from God.

One of the ways that their gifts is like they're maps. They're maps made by wise travelers of the

world who've made their way through the world before us, and now they've passed down their

maps to us as we're making our way through our world.

But there's so many books that we could read, and let's face it, most of us have so little

time. So how do we make the best use of our time to read the most helpful books?

Fortunately, we have a regular source of expert guidance to share with all of you.

I'm so happy to be joined by Jessica Houdin-Wilson, our friend, author, chair of the

great books at Pepperdine University Program, and in each presentation of reading to make sense

of the world, Jessica will guide us towards a book that she's carefully selected

that is especially worth our time and for this moment in the world. Jessica, thanks so much

for joining me. Oh, thank you, Curtis. This is going to be so much fun. All right. So what have you

selected for us today? So we were talking about a book that a lot of people might have read in high school.

And if they haven't read it since high school, they need to grab it again and read it again.

It is Fahrenheit 451, the Radbury Science Fight.

Yeah, it's so good.

It's one of those works that you were talking about making sure to make sense of the world now.

And it's prescient because it's sci-fi.

It's like thinking ahead.

It's trying to be prophetic.

It's trying to actually talk to us now in our time and place.
