Happy, happy, joy, joy!! I just received the reading list for the “Ancient Insights for Today” class in my first module at St. Stephen’s University!! It is quite the reading list – which is why I’m starting now even though I don’t actually ‘go’ to the class until October 1st. 😀
Speaking of the reading list, if anyone has a book on this list (except Bonhoeffer’s book, I have that one) that they are willing to give away, loan or sell cheaply – please let me know as I am now in the market. 😛
