“The Care of the Soul”
Do I have a soul? Is it the same thing as mind
or heart or emotions? Over four weeks we will consider the human soul, its
nature, nurture and care.

Several of you have asked for some suggestions for
Lenten devotional reading. Some of the suggestions on this list are
appropriate for any time of year but I find them particularly inspirational.
Titles with a "Lenten" orientation:
Fleming Rutledge, The Last Seven Words from the Cross, (Eerdmans,
2005). 80 pages.
Rowan Williams, Christ on Trial: How the Gospel Unsettles Our Judgement,
(Eerdmans, 2000). 141 pages with reflection questions.
Johannes Baptist Metz, Poverty of Spirit, (Paulist Press, 1988). 50
pages.
Others:
Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Inner Voice of Love: A Journey Through Anguish to
Freedom, (Image/Doubleday, 1996). 118 pages.
Thomas Merton, Contemplative Prayer, (Image/ Doubleday, 1969). 116
pages.
Thought-provoking but post-Christian:
Chris Hedges, Losing Moses on the Freeway: The 10 Commandments in America,
(Simon and Schuster, 2005). ~200pages
(This is a series of essays on the Ten Commandments and it is excellent).
A book I plan to read myself over Lent:
Speaking of Sin by Barbara Brown Taylor (Cowley Publications).
Cowley has several interesting titles for Lent on their website,
www.cowley.org.
Please share your suggestions. Call or write to me and I will get them
posted to this list.
Blessings to all of you.
