Marjorie J. Thompson: Soul Feast : An Invitation to the Christian Spiritual Life
Soul Feast is a great resource for the spiritual life. I recently heard Marjorie speak and this reminded me of her excellent book. She has a great skill in writing about spiritual practices from a Reformed point of view. (****)Ignatius of Loyola: Ignatius of Loyola: Spiritual Exercises and Selected Works (Classics of Western Spirituality)
I often turn to this book to get back to one of the originals of the spiritual life. Ignatius is amazing. (*****)JONATHAN HOLDEN: KNOWING
I find Holden's poetry provokative, down to earth and fresh in most cases. (***)Jason Shinder: The Poem I Turn To With Audio CD: Actors and Directors Present Poetry That Inspires Them
The book makes poetry accessible. Actors and directors share the poems they like and comment about the poems or the authors of the poems. (*****)Patrick Carman: The House of Power (Atherton, Book 1) (No. 1)
Some of the best authors are writers for youth. Patrick Carman has great skill and wonderful imagination. Also, he lives in my home town of Walla Walla. (****)Michael A. Hiltzik: Dealers of Lightning: Xerox PARC and the Dawn of the Computer Age
A fantastic journalistic review of one of Xerox's most creative seasons. It also gives clues as to why Xerox failed to make good use of its creativity. (*****)
