Christmas Break Reading List

The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne (I'm slightly afraid to read this, which means that I should.)

Getting On Message: Challenging the Christian Right from the Heart of the Gospel edited by Rev. Peter Laarman (Hoping to read one essay every day and get my dad to read and discuss it with me.)

Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller (I haven't read this in its entirety yet because freshman year and The Silmarillion got in the way; then I forgot about it for a while.)

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (I should finish this book. I'm so close!  Too bad I know how it ends because my sister accidentally told me.)

+ portions of my textbooks that I will be using next semester. (Maybe I'll do this...)

No poem right now, which isn't that unfortunate since nobody reads this blog anyway. :(  Maybe if I follow more people...  Ah, I shouldn't worry about it.  God, I know you read this.  Well, you know what I'm going to type before I type it, and you understand all of my metaphors, even if I don't.  I suppose writing in a journal would suffice, but then I might deprive anyone who may stumble across this blog from some possible insight.  At any rate, it's a good way to keep up with recent writings.  If no one else reads what I write, I'm satisfied to know that You do; and knowing that, I will write to you and about you.  Please help me to go to bed at decent hours from now on.  Thank you.  Love, Shannon

  1. Dear Shannon,

    The current "Psalm for the Day" is:
    "I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for God sustaineth me."

    Now go to sleep, then wake up, and know that I sustain you.

    Love,
    God

  2. Good list. Have fun with Claiborne. I read that one and "Jesus for President." Both very challenging.
