I need to reread! Or get the audio book. It's been too long.

to: Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church (Hardcover)byN.T. Wright bookshelves: currently-reading
Heaven is not the last stop on the spiritual trek -- Jesus is returning to renew THIS earth, and we're coming back with him, to live HERE. Sadly, Christians have lived as if 'it's all gonna burn' and we're going to run off to some other galaxy. Wright says what we do in our lives NOW does matter -- what jobs and relationships we pursue, caring for the earth and our fellows HERE, it all does matter. Kind of changes your paradigm. My husband is farther along than I am, but I am intrigued by what I've read so far. I loved Wright's previous book, "Simply Christian" and "What St Paul really Said."

to: Sin Boldly: A Field Guide for Grace (Hardcover)byCathleen Falsani
Falsani's series of essays are honest, funny, irreverent, and inspiring. She points out the places she finds grace: in her everyday life, in her job as a religion writer, on treks to Africa where she's met a collective of widows who are supporting themselves, in a Kenyan slum, in her own writer's block. I'm a tough audience but she made me laugh out loud and cry.
