Dissertation/Book/Doctorate Update

In 1 month, I will need to have finished drafting the big one, a 25 page paper theologizing (really rationalizing in a theological way) my poetry. Here is a pic of the authors I am using ((3 are accurate))–though I will prob use a smaller work by Moltmann. I am currently at a coffee shop sitting down to try to get it together. Pray for me, and all of my classmates. We are not all graduating this year, but there are still THIRTY FIVE of us in the program. The exact same number that started. We have all stuck, and I believe in my soul that we are ALL going to graduate. So send us all your good spells, wishes and prayers please. As for me, I am REALLY trying to finish this year. Thank you for all of your support. Every donation from $5 to $500 has helped me to be able to WRITE, and to SHARE my writings! As you can see I’ve Almost completely fundraised through this final year! Can you believe it??? When I started I could not imagine asking for help for 3 years, much less receiving it. I have been overwhelmed!!! Thank you so much! I believe in my class, our work, and even me! https://gofund.me/6e3e45b9

"Publisher after publisher turned down A Wrinkle in Time," L'Engle wrote, "because it deals overtly with the problem of evil, and it was too difficult for children, and was it a children's or an adult's book, anyhow?" The next year it won the prestigious John Newbery Medal. Tolkien states in the foreword to The Lord of the Rings that he disliked allegories and that the story was not one.[66] Instead he preferred what he termed "applicability", the freedom of the reader to interpret the work in the light of his or her own life and times.
