Though The Pearl (by Steinbeck) is, on the surface, viewed as a prejudice and sexist book, there are different ways it can be read and interpreted.

The same is true for Bonhoeffer’s book, The Cost of Discipleship, and Eims’ book, The Lost Art of Disciple Making. Even…

I chose this poem originally because Autumn is my favorite time of year, but as I read I am struck by how Keats captures the tangibility of the season and can 't help but wonder if it isn 't his favorite time of year also. Keats seems to have created a human persona for the term by using phrases like 'bosom-friend "and "hair soft lifted...". While perusing each stanza, I have the feeling that I am walking through Autumn. It 's as if the language Keats uses is drawing me onward in a journey…
