Storyteller's World

Not too many takers for the ten books you would choose to resource the rest of your ministry idea. Maybe it's such a terrifying thought we just can't bear to contemplate it? Or perhaps it's that it's more revealing of our true selves than we care to be. But perhaps it's only fair for me to confess to my first list (though it's probably the kind of thing you change your mind about every week.) So here goes:

Rule of St Benedict
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison
Thomas Merton, Seven Storey Mountain
Greek New Testament (as long as I can have the edition with a dictionary in the back)
C.S.Lewis, Screwtape Letters
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
Homer, Odyssey
Eugene Peterson, Under the Unpredictable Plant
Samuel Pepys, Diary
Chaucer, Canterbury Tales

Hard, isn't it?
