    A book written to relate the Christian attitude on cultural matters with societies perspective, “A Sneaking Suspicion”. Written by John Dickson, a theological historian from Sydney’s suburbs attempts to contrast cultural experiences - including relationships, sex, meaning - with the Christian view inspired by Jesus death as our substitute. These areas are the major focal points throughout the book and are addressed in three main sections. The first called “Some Sneaking Suspicions” expresses how sex and beauty can be in conjunction with God’s rules and meaning for our life. However, “Some Nagging Doubts”, the second chapter, concludes having addressed many objections one may have with the Christian faith; more popular doubts being suffering and science. In contrast, the third chapter moves into a gospel centred preach where John proclaims “The Guts of it All” presented in the bible. Further, the book culminates with the application: a chance to turn to Jesus as a result of his sacrifice for us. Therefore, we can see that as the book progresses, we see Dickson draw links between societal topics and its impact on one’s life through a Christian frame of mind.…

    Set in La Paz, Mexico, Kino is content with his small family and house made of brush. However, when his only son Coyotito is stung by a scorpion, Kino sets out to find a pearl grand enough to pay the doctor who has refused to help. In an ancient clam, Kino stumbles upon the largest pearl anyone in La Paz had ever seen. Dubbed “the Pearl of the World” everyone suddenly became interested in Kino and his family. When his brother, Juan Tomas, asks what the future holds, Kino sees images of Coyotito in school and a real marriage for Juana and himself reflected in the pearl’s surface. Even Coyotito’s wound seemed to be healing. However, joy and opportunity dragged paranoia and thievery along for the journey. Kino began to distrust everyone and everything.
