On My Nightstand

Every day a new book arrives in the mail from one publisher or another, or by my own choice from various booksellers (independent whenever possible).

Lately it’s been a bumper crop. Here’s what I’m reading these days:

• Without Apology: Sermons for Christ’s Church by Stanley Hauerwas
• Consider the Birds: A Provocative Guide to Birds of the Bible by Debbie Blue
• Jesus>Religion: Why He Is So Much Better Than Trying Harder, Doing More, and Being Good Enough by Jefferson Bethke
• The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery
• The Crowd, The Critic and The Muse: A Book for Creators by Michael Gungor
• UNAPOLOGETIC: Why Despite Evertying, Christianity Can Still Make Surprising Emotional Sense by Francis Spufford
• The Reason for My Hope by The Rev. Billy Graham

AND HOW COULD I FORGET ( not pictured because it literally was under my pillow in bed) :

• STITCHES: A Handbook on Meaning, Hope and Repair By Anne Lamott
