I always create these lists and then never stick to them, or sadly enough replace them with Summer Movies To See, but this summer I have no excuse. I have the books and the time and the need for some intellectual stimulation. Here it goes:
Because I read This Present Darkness and it was extremely eye-opening to the spiritual realm around us (not to mention one of those books you just can't seem to put down.)
Because I studied Dietrich Bonhoeffer in my World Civilizations class last semester and he easily made my top 10 most inspirational people list.
Because I think I read it when I was in middle school but I truly did not appreciate it. I think it deserves to be read again with with new-found urgency.
Because a mentor read some meaty passages from it and I need something to chew on over the dry summer months.
