What Are You Reading?

This afternoon, I wandered around Borders looking for a book to read during Advent. Have you ever been disturbed by the books that appear on the shelves of large bookstores? The Religion section mystifies me every time I step down the narrow aisle. I stare transfixed at book spines wondering if I can really glean anything from these airbrushed covers.

Tucked among the Bibles, I found this new book by Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan. For Lent, I had read their earlier work entitled The Last Week. During Lent, I read one day for each day of Holy Week (ok, so it wasn't Lent). After doing this, I promised myself I would read during the seasons of Advent and Lent. It gave me so much insight and oddly, rest. So today, I snuggled under a series of blankets and read the first chapter. I'm grateful for the opportunity to read -- and read with others.

So, what are you reading?
