2006: What I've Read

Well, I'm off to a slow start already this year...

6) The Human Condition: Contemplation and Transformation, by Father Thomas Keating. I seriously can't stop reaiding this book...

5) Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality, by Donald Millar. Not a huge fan. Miller's insecurities and inconsistencies made this one tough to swallow.

4) The Souls of Black Folk, by W.E.B. DuBois. A classic...

3) Beloved Commuinty: How Faith Shapes Social Justice from the Civil Rights Movements to Today, by Charles Marsh. I'm a huge fan of Marsh and reall appreciate his contemporary historical reading of how/why the Civil Rights movement needs to be reborn today.

2) The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical, by Shane Claiborne. Dang, this one is HILARIOUS and POWERFUL. A quick and important contribution.

1) Silencing Political Dissent: How Post-September 11 Anti-Terrorism Measures Threaten our Civil Liberties, by Nancy Chang. A long title for a little book :) Clint sent me this one and I thought it an appropriate start to the year's reading.
