“We belong to a generation that has lost its way.”
-Walter Lippmann
Walter Lippmann may have said this during the Depression, but it is still true today. Now more than ever.

So true, and I think it’s because we’ve tried to follow too many ways, instead of The Way. It leaves us lost.

Definitely. And there are so many distractions around us, too, that weren’t there in earlier times.

Yes. It’s such a hard generation to live in. Maybe that’s good, in a way, because it forces us to rely on Him more and not think we can be faithful in our own strength.

Oh, definitely. Unfortunately, it makes it that much harder to witness to others, but it does have its advantages.

Thank you so much! I really needed this encouragement. It’s such a daunting task, and so many people have fallen so far. Thank you for the great reminder! ❤

Ouch. We walk from WWI through the Depression and WWII and bump right into total war and other nasty stuff. But there’s still heroes…

Balance this out, though. I don’t know if you read C.S. Lewis’s Space Trilogy (which, by the way, came out shortly before/during/after WWII), but if you think about it, in the first book, the hero, Elwin Ransom (ONE OF THE MOST AWESOME CHARACTERS IN LITERATURE, by the way!!!), is mentioned to have “fought in the war” before coming home and getting a doctorate in philology. WWII hadn’t begun yet then, and assuming that “Out of the Silent Planet” takes place around the time it had been published, Ransom is a veteran of World War I. This places him squarely in the Lost Generation, right alongside J.R.R. Tolkien (also a WWI veteran) and Lewis himself (Lewis knew what he was talking about when he wrote about the experience of a soldier in WWI!) Hemingway and Fitzgerald? They don’t have anything on our Christian fantasy authors! ^_^ So maybe some people lost their way, but others found theirs (read “Surprised by Joy”, wink wink). 🙂

*cough* Have not read that. But I do think that much of our current generation has lost its way.

Yes. I was just pointing this out because “Out of the Silent Planet” is too awesome for “The Great Gatsby.” PWNS IT. 😛

YAY!!! READ IT READ IT READ IT! And don’t be turned off by “That Hideous Strength.” It’s perhaps the most rewarding (and funniest) one– if you keep with it. There’s a bear in the bathroom, for a teaser 😉
