This Blog

1. This Blog is going to serve as a resource page of books and websites that have significantly shaped my theology and praxis. Often I will enter into discussions with someone and will reference something for which I do not remember the details, or want to pass along by way of reference. I plan on posting suggested reading lists, web links and other resources which will make it easy for people I interact with to access things I refer them to. Thank you for honoring me with your visit to this blog.

This is what I am reading right now.
