I love Morrison's work, and really think he is a master comic book writer. This book contains many of the ideas he has touched upon in his day job, and starts out fantastically. Where it falls over is in its use of repetition and in the second half. One gets the impression that, as Morrison in the biographical tale, settles into his corporate role, the story comes off the rails slightly. Some slightly bitter missives about old colleagues and one or two moments of suggestion that Mr Morrison is a soul in search of an identity take away from an otherwise fascinating read. Morrison can write, make no mistake, it's just what he choses to write about which unravels towards the end.

More of a stream-of-conscious than a memoir, Newton gives enough of these broad stroke impressions to foster an understanding of her childhood. At times very disturbing, it's clear why the author chose format she did, allowing herself to distance those memories from the child she became. The language is beautiful, simple, from the voice of a young girl.

It's almost more a "report from the field" as much as it is an analysis of a movement. The marks of this "new friar" mission movement as some call it are incarnational, missional, marginal, devotional, communal. Chapter 3 helped me see the various roles people come FROM in order to live among marginal people: remainers, relocators, and returners. Each has their contributing strengths to offer. I liked the emphasis on "story" in chapter 4. Only by locating ourselves in God's greater story can we find and channel hope into the smaller stories we inhabit. I like getting this glimpse from the inside. It reminds me of C.S. Lewis's essay "Meditation in a Toolshed: 'Looking' Along vs. 'Looking At'" Yes, let those on the inside say what they see. They see it in a way that nobody else could. Missional: Yes! the point of these new communities is not isolationism, but transformation, both of themselves and the communities they link with. Marginal: Resist the pull of false centers - good point. Poverty dehumanizes - good point (um, but back in chapter 4 wealth was named an enemy...?) Elsewhere, this chapter got too mystical for me. My takeaway - what "center" do we revolve around? Devotional: Excellent reminder for our school. We've held on to morning devotions, rotating among 5 disciplines, through all the years since I first came in 1996. Practicing devotion together is a great re-unifier. "We are shaped by what we're saturated in, which is why incarnation must always be paired with devotion." Good warnings to activists and educators alike. We must beware getting "caught up in our busyness, frantically running from one crisis to the next in a cycle that looks less like loving the Messiah and more like trying to become one." Communal: Rich with thoughtfulness. "In the mainstream, with its illusion of unlimited relational possibilities, we can counter dissatisfaction in relationships by simply moving on in search of...intimacy only as virtual embrace." At times I detect eisegesis, a typical error among us who are passionate about our ministries. They read their own ways of doing things back into the Biblical text, inserting their philosophy of ministry between the lines. Examples: chapter 4 says Jesus taught that "wealth and worldly success" are "the enemies of the kingdom." I'd like to find that passage in the Bible, if it's there. Chapter 7's "Weightlessness of communal simplicity is less blatant. While I agree with the principle of simplicity, I reject the argument from silence pushed here. All in all, however, these logical strayings don't detract from the book's main ideas. Even timelier as we repeatedly ask ourselves how we can help flood victims here in Thailand. Thanks, Daniel! I need to read this. Cross pollination from people outside my denominational circles, but inside orthodoxy helps me grow. Also good to help me see a very different model of missions. Imagine a vision for God's kingdom that starts by learning FROM the marginalized and eventually letting the marginalized take over the vision. This book certainly helps me think of the possibilities beyond my own comfortable socioeconomic status. But it also doesn't pull punches. No romanticization. Timely reading, too, as we try to be a real help to some local friends in need.

Another wonderful installment in the Cree Black series, and I think I liked this even more than the first. This one was less about Cree and her struggle to deal with the death of her husband, although I think she's slowly coming to terms with his loss, her interaction with the spirit world and her own self more. She acts as a white spectator of the world of the Diné/Navajo people, and Hecht's description of modern reservation life comes across as very realistic. He shows a people creating their own nation within a nation against difficult odds. I'm not familiar with the culture personally, but it struck me that Hecht had done his homework, portraying the Native American characters with sensitivity but without being pitying, cliched or patronising. Once again, the balance between the protagonists' psychological states and the supernatural shifts back and forward, and the scientific arguments for metaphysical phenomena is very believable. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, set in San Francisco, and I hope Hecht will write some more!

It was just a story of despair. This sentence sums up the whole book. Dysfunctional, depressing, wandering, icky - those are my words to sum it up. I think the author has great potential - the writing was lovely in places, he has a prose-like style which I would not mind seeing again. However, the subject matter and the perversity of it all was just not to my taste. I have had this book on my list to read since it was first released and this was just not at all what I had expected. Oh well, to each his own...
