One of our regular bloggers, Diana Butler Bass, had the great idea to asked the Red Letter Christians group for short lists of their favorite books that they’ve read this year. We’ve gotten a great response and will be sharing them over the few remaining days of 2006.
To kick things off, Sojourners has published a list of recommended reading in their special issue on books and film . You can read capsule reviews with the full article, but here are the titles:
Justice in a Global Economy: Strategies for Home, Community, and World, edited by Pamela Brubaker, Rebecca Todd Peters, and Laura Stivers
Bridges to Contemplative Living with Thomas Merton, series edited by Jonathan Montaldo and Robert Toth
Beyond Prisons: A New Interfaith Paradigm for Our Failed Prison System
Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? by Philip Yancey
Donegal Suite, by John McNamee
Encountering Ecclesiastes, by James Limburg
The New Friars: The Emerging Movement Serving the World’s Poor, by Scott Bessenecker
Vital Christianity: Spirituality, Justice, and Christian Practice, edited by David L. Weaver-Zercher and William H. Willimon
Look for more “books of the year” posts from other God’s Politics bloggers in the days to come!
