Confession – I buy more books than I am able to read, but I find ways to work through them. Here are the most recent ones that have caught my attention.
Preaching in the Purple Zone – this one has been my on and off read for more than a year. Politically purple zone is the reality of the majority of our churches and we are called to be pastors for all of our people, not only people who tend to vote like us.
Black Liturgies have tugged at my heart and have given me words to pray, converse, and love my neighbor even more.
Into The Mess – this quote alone keeps me coming back to this book and randomly picking up a chapter to read: “Despair and hope. They travel the road to Jerusalem together, as together they travel every road we take – despair at what in our madness we are bringing down on our own heads and hope in him who travels the road with us and for us and who is the only one of us all who is not mad.” (“My Broken Hosanna,” p. 172-173).
Womanist Midrash (Part II) – I have been waiting for these stories for years. Part I has stretched me as a Biblical interpreter and a feminist.
