George Gifford, an English Puritan, says love isn’t a warm feeling locked in a drawer. If you truly love the brethren, you don’t get tired, you don’t skimp, and you definitely don’t say, “After I’ve finished enjoying myself.” Real love gets up, goes out, and spends itself.
So—where’s your love actually going today?

Book Review: George’s Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl
Hi everyone! I hope you’re all well. Today is Friday, and it’s time for another review. Today, I’m sharing my review of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s novel, George’s Marvellous Medicine.
Click the image to find the bookGeorge’s Marvellous Medicine was published in 1981 by Puffin Books and is 96 pages long.
The Plot
George, tired of his grandma’s constant nagging, grumpy mood and mean-spirited comments, decides to make his own medicine to replace the one she takes regularly. His concoction, made from an outrageous blend of household items that range from shampoo to animal pills, sets off a series of fantastical events, transforming Grandma in unexpected and hilarious ways.Characters
George Kranky
George is a resourceful and inventive child who invents a special mixture, or medicine, hoping to teach his mean and grumpy grandma a lesson. Despite his mischievous nature, George has a good heart and only wants to help his family. His determination and quick thinking make him a lovable protagonist that readers will root for throughout the book.Grandma
Grandma is a cantankerous old lady and serves as the book’s antagonist. She has a foul temper and is incredibly demanding, making life difficult for poor George. She is stubborn and ungrateful, constantly belittling him and calling him a liar. However, although her character has no redeeming qualities, she does add humour to the story with her exaggerated behaviour and outrageous reactions to George’s antics.Mr Kranky and Mrs Kranky
Mrs Kranky, at first deeply cares for Grandma, not wanting her to come to harm, but when Grandma finally shrinks away, she feels relieved and that a burden has been lifted from her.Mr Kranky sees a business opportunity in George’s medicine when he witnesses its effects on the farm animals and attempts to recreate it, hoping to sell it to other farmers, while showing no regard for the consequences.
Writing Style
Dahl’s writing style is characteristically playful, vividly descriptive, and effortlessly humorous. His prose is rhythmic, making it especially enjoyable to read aloud. His knack for capturing the imagination of young readers while entertaining adults with subtle satire remains unmatched.His characters, particularly George and Grandma, are painted in bold strokes with clear personalities, allowing readers to easily cheer for the underdog and recoil from the villain.
Illustrations
Quentin Blake’s iconic illustrations are an inseparable part of Dahl’s storytelling. Each illustration complements the text, bringing the characters and their exaggerated mannerisms to life. Blake’s unique, sketch-like style captures the whimsy and chaos of the story perfectly.Final Thoughts
Overall, George’s Marvellous Medicine stands out as a wonderfully entertaining read for children and adults alike, brilliantly showcasing Roald Dahl’s mastery in creating stories that are both captivatingly funny and gently provocative.Whether you’re rereading this classic as an adult or reading it for the first time, it’s impossible not to be captivated by George’s Marvellous Medicine. It’s not just a book—it’s a bottle of laughter, a pinch of chaos, and a spoonful of childhood nostalgia.
Thank you, as ever, for reading my review!
Until next time,
George

George Swinnock, nonconformist minister, knows of rich who rob the poor instead of fulfilling the God-ordained purpose of their wealth: that of relieving the poor. They suck the blood out of poor men’s hearts and houses fall on their heads.
How many Christian publishers (or parishioners) would stand for such talk by modern Christian thought leaders?
How can you do the opposite of robbing and trampling the poor today?

George Hutcheson, a Scottish #Presbyterian expositor, notes that Job is accused (v.22:6-7) not of cruelty but of neglect: no water for the weary, no bread for the hungry. Scripture treats withheld mercy as real guilt. We answer not only for harm done, but for good refused.
What omissions would still accuse us? Where can you give water today?

Good Vs. Evil
Hi everyone! I hope you’re all well. Today, I am exploring why we seem to be drawn again and again to the theme of good vs. evil. Let’s get to it!
The Universal Appeal of Good Vs Evil
The more books and films I consume, the more I wonder why human beings find the duality of good and evil so compelling. Seriously — think about how it shows up in nearly every culture. Whether it’s ancient Greek mythology (Zeus vs the Titans) or modern storytelling (Harry Potter vs Voldemort), this battle is always there.
Here are three reasons that might help to explain why:
1 It’s Innately Relatable
Deep down, we all like to root for someone — or something. Good versus evil gives us clear stakes to invest in. We want Batman to defeat the Joker and the rest of Gotham’s nasties. We cheer on Aslan and the Narnians in their fight against the White Witch in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe because we become invested; it feels like we’re fighting, too.It mirrors an internal conflict we grapple with daily. Do I take the high road, or do I snap at that annoyingly loud coworker or neighbour? Stories exploring the theme of good and evil resonate because they reflect our own moral dilemmas, even in heightened, fantastical ways.
2 It’s Simple yet Versatile
Another reason good and evil reign supreme is its adaptability. It can be a straightforward backdrop — like cowboys (good guys) against outlaws (bad guys) in old-school Westerns. Or, it can become a deep and philosophical discussion — think of Gregory Maguire’s novel Wicked, which recounts the life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West and asks us,“What really is good? And what really is evil?”3 It’s Universally Human
As we established at the start, there’s no culture, era or corner of the globe where you won’t find stories of moral conflict. From ancient tales like Pandora’s Box to modern dramas like Breaking Bad, this theme is part of our collective human storytelling DNA.Overall, Fiction gives us a playground to explore simple conflicts safely — to question motives, empathize with flawed characters, and think deeply about what it means to do the right thing or, in some circumstances, what it might mean to do the wrong thing but for the right reasons.
If this theme fascinates you as much as it does me, I’d love to hear about your favourite “good vs evil” stories and characters in the comments below. Whether it’s a guilty pleasure movie, an obscure indie book, or a bestselling graphic novel, let me know why those stories resonate so much!
And if you’re a writer working on something that explores this theme, remember — it’s not about sticking to formulas but about creating something that feels true to the human experience. Readers will always love a character who, against all odds, fights back against the darkness with their innate or learned “goodness” — even if that darkness comes from within themselves.”
Thank you, as ever, for reading today’s post. It means a lot!
Until next time,
George
