Nadia Bolz-Weber: Salvation on the Small Screen? 24 Hours of Christian Television
This is my book. It will change your life. Ok, not really.
Kester Brewin: Signs of Emergence
This book is tremendous. Drawing on his background as a math teacher, Brewin explores why the church is where it is and why it is to change...using complexity theory. This is a must read.
Edward and Lorna Mornin: Saints: A Visual Guide
This is a gorgeous handbook of the saints.
Peter Rollins: How (Not) to Speak of God.
Pete is an emerging church pastor of the Ikon community in Belfast, Ireland. I can't recommend this book enough.
Phyllis Tickle: The divine hours
Phyllis is one the smartest women I've ever met. I'm using this book for matins and noon prayer as well as vespers and compline.
Anne Lamott: Traveling Mercies : Some Thoughts on Faith
One of my favorite books of all time. She's pretty cranky and sarcastic too.
Eddie Gibbs: Emerging Churches: Creating Christian Community in Postmodern Cultures
Gibbs and Bolger spent 5 years compiling this book which relys heavily on interviews with emerging church leaders in the US and the UK. They seem to favor independant churches over denominational ones...so very little is said about us "loyal radicals"
« Made my day | Main | Jesus or the dishes? »
Here she is.
I love that Mary Magdalene, this unlikely deeply flawed, deeply faithful WOMAN was chosen to be the first witness to the resurrection. This is part of an illumination from the 12th century St. Alban's Psalter. In the painting she is letting the boys in on the big news and they're completely befuddled. See the whole painting here.
It still have to get the border colored gold.
I love it.

Hello fellow earner of "B," just found this blog. Gotta get my own fired up again. So my spiritual director suggests I consider what she calls "the hard work of not working" in aid of actually HEARING what God is trying to say. What think you? Have a good weekend--love the blog--terri c

Terri,
GLad you found me. Doing LESS? Sounds awful, but then again perhaps she has a point. Less isn't often an option for me, although as you know I did cancel my trip to Chigago this weekend as I'm comepletely overwhelmed with school...haven't heard God yet, but haven't really listened either.

OK, you HAVE to get the befuddled dudes on the other arm...

I like the style of it. Getting the dumbfounded dudes on the other arm is a great idea!
