Fit, honestly stated

For whom, and for whom not.

Most newsletters want everyone. This one would rather be right for you than merely in your inbox.

This is for

Christians who suspect their distractions are not accidental.
Readers who know the device from Lewis and want it pointed at the phone in their hand.
People who prefer their theology with a plot and a villain.
Anyone who has said “spiritual, not religious” and felt it wobble.

This is not

Not a devotional. Nobody hands you a verse and a blank to fill in.
Not a news roundup or a hot take on the week.
Not a sermon. The only voice preaching is a demon’s, and he is wrong on purpose.
Not a funnel. The letters are the whole product.

Before you decide

Three fair questions.

Is this for Christians?

Mostly, yes. It is written by a Christian for people trying to be one. Skeptics are welcome to read over the shoulder. Mulcifer assumes they are.

Is it preachy?

No. Nobody in these letters is on your side. The advice is uniformly bad, given sincerely, and you are meant to do the opposite. It turns out to be a gentler way to be told the truth.

How often, and how long?

One letter a week. About four minutes to read. If one runs long, blame Mulcifer’s vanity, not our planning.

Still reading? Then it’s for you.

One letter a week, free, and easy to leave. That is the whole arrangement.
