One that surprised me/caught me off-guard: L'Engle's "Right Ordering of Love" poetry collection. Turned me upside-down and shook the loose change out of my pockets.
Those I'd like to learn more from: Wendell Berry; Eugene Peterson; James Cone; Fleming Rutledge; Gustavo Gutierrez; Prathia Hall (there's archival audio of her preaching online!); Sarah Coakley; Katherine Sonderegger; Havilah Dharamraj
Tom Oden, Billy Abraham.
Lately, works by and about women pastors who led during WWII - from Japan, France, Hong Kong, Germany, U.K., U.S., and other nations. Their voices feel so close, I wish so much that I could sit and talk with them.
Friends who just happen to be on the other side of the veil. ☺️ But from whom I catch glimpses of Truth, Beauty, Goodness. And that's the context in which I sometimes disagree with some of their thinking, too; like vigorous debate w/a friend.
