Guidelines

Use this area to review or discuss good books. To propose a book discussion, start a topic with the title of the book in the subject line. If you would like to have a formal discussion, set a few guidelines for the group (e.g., at what pace will the book be read, will it be discussed chapter by chapter or by theme.), or, if you prefer a general discussion, specify that in the fist post.

Hey guys!

Who do you draw inspiration from?

What are some of your favorite books?

I personally am a big fan of Borg ;) His Reading the Bible Again for the First Time opened my eyes to a whole new way of looking at Christianity (when I had formerly been VERY alienated by it)! :)

By the way, if you can't tell, I'm trying to get some new threads up here and there :) I love this forum and I hope we can get some more posts! So please reply! :)
Peace, love, and God bless,
McKenna

Looks interesting! The site is a little difficult to read but I checked it out on Amazon...I'll have to look into it a bit more when I have a little more time :) Thanks!

So far for me... Borg and Spong...

Although he is not considered to be Progressive... Brennan Manning was very instrumental in openning my heart and eyes...

Lion and Lamb was a powerful book.

I still haven't gotten around to reading that Spong book I have...sigh. I'll get there eventually, I suppose!

Anybody like Crossan? I read one book of his. All I really remember about it is that he says a lot of the same things as Borg :)

Brennan Manning...I've never heard of him, I'll have to check that out!
