Summer Reading List

18 04 2009

Well friends, it’s final paper time at Vanderbilt Divinity School, and that means it’s a great time to distract myself with blogging. Inspired by Blake, I went through my shelves, put some up for sale, picked some that I’ve been meaning to read. After careful consideration, I came up with the following:

Beloved by Toni Morrison

Living on the Borders: What the Church Can Learn from Ethnic Immigrant Cultures by Mark Griffin and Theron Walker

The Sixth Grandfather: Black Elk’s Teachings Given to John G. Neihardt

The Varieties of Religious Experience by William James

Holy Conversations: Strategic Planning as a Spiritual Practice for Congregations by Gil Rendle and Alice Mann

And, in case that isn’t enough, a little more light reading…

The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith

There will also be some Rumi sprinkled in. I think this may be overly ambitious. I’ll probably make it through about half, plus a few unlisted, lighter books.

What’s on your summer reading list?

I don’t read. Well, I don’t read during the summer. What can I say? I don’t like to be over ambitious.
