What I'm Reading

What I'm currently reading, is near the top of the list on my Kindle, and/or have out from the library:

And conversely, what I'm NOT reading: What's in my To Read pile (and on my Kindle) that keeps finding it's way to the bottom of the pile:

• Always We Begin Again: The Benedictine Way of Living, by John McQuiston II
• Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years, by Diarmaid MacCulloch
• From age to Age: How Christians Have Celebrated the Eucharist, by Edward Foley
• A History of the Church in England, by J. R. H. Moorman
• Jesus Wars: How Four Patriarchs, three Queens, and Two Emperors Decided What Christians Would Believe for the Next 1,500 Years, by Philip Jenkins
• Narrative Leadership: Rediscovering the Life-Giving Nature of Stories, The Alban Institute
• Storycatcher: Making Sense of Our Lives through the Power and Practice of Story, by Christina Baldwin
• Thieves in the Temple: The Christian Church and the Selling of the American Soul, by G. Jeffrey MacDonald

There's a pattern here, and it is deliberate. I'm quite enjoying reading travelogues, mysteries, science fiction, fantasies, and anything not church-related for the moment, thank you.
