Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne Shane invites you into a movement of the Spirit that begins in the heart and extends through our hands into a broken world. Shane stirs up questions about the church and the world, challenging you to live out an authentic Christian faith.
The Heart of Christianity by Marcus Borg Borg argues that ...Christian ethics bind Christians to care foremost about those in need, yet contemporary American Christianity seems mainly to care about itself. Taking the Kingdom of God seriously means taking the systemic causes of human suffering seriously.
Let Your Life Speak by Parker Palmer "Is the life I am living the same as the life that wants to live in me?" With this searching question, Palmer begins an insightful and moving meditation on finding one's true calling.
Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams "What is Real?" the question the stuffed rabbit asks the toy horse... "Does it hurt?...Does it happen all at once?" "It doesn't happen all at once, you become. It takes a long time...Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
