A couple days ago I received a package from Amazon; in it was a heap of books assigned for us to read and postulate on for our two classes from JBU. Following is a list of what made up the aforementioned “heap”:
Everything Bad is Good For You by Steven Johnson
Postmodern Youth Ministry by Tony Jones
Engaging the Soul of Youth Culture by Walt Mueller
Soul Searching by Christian Smith
The Hip-Hop Church by Efram Smith and Phil Jackson
Postmodern Children’s Ministry by I. Beckwith
The Spirit of the Child by D. Hay and R. Nye
Children’s Spirituality: Christian Perspectives, Research, and Applications by D. Ratcliff
Joining Children on the Spritual Journey: Nuturing a Life of Faith by C. Stonehouse
I think it is safe to say my evenings from here on out will be packed, stuffed, crammed, jammed, overfull, overcrowded, solid, teeming, seething, swarming, jam-packed, chock-full, chockablock, full to the gunwales, bursting/bulging at the seams…. busy.
No Comments on "talk about some stuff…"
I feel for ya. At least all you are reading are very encouraging and bible based.
Try Ethics at a Lutherine college.
Also not sure how Campus Crusades is going to go…the campus pastor wants us to pass it by the college dean to be approved and official. I want nothing more than to be unofficial and unfettered by their tradition…argh…frusterating.
Love you,

Two of my roommates are reading “Everything Bad is Good For You” in conjunction with “Amusing Ourselves to Death” for their rhetoric class. The former seems to have more of its work cut out for it, making a plausible case for TV, video games, and the Internet being great advancers of modern thought and growth. Interested to see what you think.
