Here is a new page I'm so looking forward to updating. It should prove to be a powerful cleaning agent for our inner lives. Perhaps completing my recent Graduate Diploma of Divinity has whet my appetite for more minus the assignments.
I won't be including actual religious scripture or sacred texts. So no Bible, Quran, Torah, Sanskrit etc. Those are beyond the scope of what I feel comfortable reviewing. Too huge a mouthful to chew, in other words.
What I will keep adding are other venerated, sacramental and thought-provoking books whose topics are spirituality, theology and matters of faith. As they draw from diverse places and times, and include multiple genres, I don't anticipate ever running out. I identify strongly with the Christian tradition but I've decided not to confine myself solely to Christian texts. Contemplating what moves our brothers and sisters of other faiths must surely add depth to our headspaces.
I'm counting on it.
