Book Recommendations Like they say, “You can’t tell the players without a program,” you can’t understand Holy Week (Palm Sunday to Easter) without the book, The Last Week, by Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan. I found this work, recommended to me by Nancy Mylott, to be one of the most helpful and informative books on Christian faith that I have read in years. It gives a clear and in-depth description of the people and events in each of the eight days from Palm Sunday to Easter. Borg and Crossan alternate chapters and provide readers with an up-close and personal look at the story within the story. Using the Gospel of Mark as their focus, these two superstar-theologians take the reader on a journey of understanding and faith like a good travel guide through unfamiliar terrain. So do yourself a favor and grab a cup of coffee, find some quiet space, and take a look at the story of Jesus’ last week in a way unlike you ever have before. And you’ll be amazed at how you begin to recognize the players and see the game in a whole new light.
Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom is a book you won’t want to miss. From the same author of Tuesdays with Morrie, this book has a similar feel in its intimacy and pursuit of the matters of life, death, and meaning. Asked by his rabbi to give the eulogy on the future occasion of his death, Albom is forced to grapple with his own distant faith. Weaving two stories side by side, one of his rabbi and the other of an African-American inner city fundamentalist preacher, Albom comes to know what we all yearn to know, namely that the real purpose of life is discovered in losing it for others. This read is compelling. Helen Loewi bought me a copy which sat on my desk for months. When I finally picked it up to read a few pages, I couldn’t put it down. It’s that good! And I think you will find it so as well. All it takes is a little faith. ~Pastor Jim |
