2005: What I'm Going to Read
I'm shameless... This is the same list from what I wanted to read in 2004.
Anyway, here's what's on the shelf, and usually in my backpack. My intentions are that these are the next books I'll read, unless I'm seduced and distracted by something else... (alphabetical by author's last name so none of these books feelings get hurt):
1) Fruits and Gifts of the Spirit, by Thomas Keating. I think I bought too many Thomas Keating books and now feel guilty. This one is pretty thin and looks easy enough to get through-which would help me feel less guilty.
2) Fateful Triangle: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinians, by Noam Chomsky. This one has been sitting on the t0-read pile way too long...
3) Mission Between the Times: Essays on the Kingdom, by C. Rene Padilla. I'm embarrassed to say I still haven't read this. Padilla is probably the most important Evangelical Protestant Latin American missiologist of the last 100 years and for some sick reason this book is out of print. What in the world?
4) Vaclav Havel, The Intellectual Conscience of International Politics: An Introduction, Appreciation, and Critique, by James W. Sire. Okay, the title is already WAY TOO LONG, which hopefully isn't an indication that this book would have been a better essay (less is more...). I'm really interested in Havel, but not sure I'm ever gonna actually get to this one.
5) Gravity and Grace, by Simone Weil. Highly recommended by Joel. I've probably packed this one on at least 6-7 trips but never seem to get to it... maybe the devil's keeping me from reading it.
6) What Would You Do: A Serious Answer to a Standard Question, by John Howard Yoder. I have given this away 3 times even though I haven't read it yet. I think I'd like to consider myself peace-loving and I certainly prefer non-violence, so I'm curious to interface with the issues in this one.
Okay, I'm gonna try to keep this list at or under 10 :)
