t h e He ra l d Lants Lines The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. Proverbs 9:10 (NRSV) When I visit others homes, I always enjoy seeing the books they keep on the shelves. Its fun to see what interests them: sometimes the titles are very predictable, but often they surprise me: Wow, I had no idea they were interested in THAT! I also like talking with others about books and hearing their recommendations. So I thought I might pass along a few titles that I have been reading (or that are on my read soon list) and that I think you might enjoy. Telushkin, Joseph. Jewish Literacy: the Most Important Things to Know about the Jewish Religion, Its People, and Its History. New York: W. Morrow, 1991. My law school friend David Wohlberg sings the praises of his rabbi, who wrote this book and many others. So when I read it, Ill learn more about the Jewish faith, as well as about the religious leader who has so inspired my friend. Emerson, Michael O., and Christian Smith. Divided by Faith: Evangelical Religion and the Problem of Race in America. New York: Oxford University Press, 2000. This was recommended by local pastor Vince McFarland (Maryland Community Church) as a good beginning point for an inter-racial pastors discussion group we hope to begin. Rohr, Richard. Things Hidden: Scripture as Spirituality. Cincinnati, Ohio: St. Anthony Messenger Press, 2008. My friend Morgan Roberts has recommended several books by this Catholic monk and teacher. A Franciscan, he writes for a wide audience of religious and nonreligious persons. I cant accept all of his conclusions, but I deeply appreciate some of his insights. His suggestions about reading scripture with a generous spirit are, I think, especially instructive. Blumhardt, Christoph. Everyone Belongs to God: Discovering the Hidden Christ. Charles E. Moore, ed. Walden, New York: Plough Publishing House, 2015. Morgan Roberts recommended this book, an edited collection of letters written in the early 1900s by a retired pastor to his son-in-law, who had just become a missionary in China. This is one of the most challenging books I have read since Dietrich Bonhoeffers Cost of Discipleship. Blumhardt advises his son-in-law not to worry about churchy things, but to start out by providing real, material help to those among whom he is ministering, trusting the Holy Spirit to lead persons where they need to be. Wright, N.T. Simply Good News: Why the Gospel Is News and What Makes It Good. San Francisco: HarperOne, 2015. This is Wrights latest offering, and its one of my favorites. Without minimizing the insights of evangelical, revivalist Christians, he shows that the gospels claims are not just about going to heaven when you die, but rather about living life now as persons utterly convinced that God has won the victory and that evil is even now on the run. I hope you enjoy your summer reading!

Dear Pastor Davis,
Thank you so much for giving me the chance to inform your congregation about CASAs need for more advocates. Your congregation was warm and welcoming to me, making me feel a part of your church and less a stranger. Your message Sunday was found to be helpful because while we cant do it all, we can do some. And that can make all the difference in the eyes of our Lord. Thank you for your kindness & for all that you do . Ally Jeffers, Vigo County CASA
