SUMMER READING SUGGESTIONS

Beloved in the Lord,

As the season for vacations begins, Jamey and I thought we’d make some suggestions for summer reading. These are books we love, or authors we love, in both fiction and non-fiction. We also got some suggestions from our son and our Bishop!

The Bishop’s suggestions:

·       Gallahad and the Grail by Malcom Guite ( a long poem)

·       Simply Trinity   by Matthew Barrett

·       Theo of Golden by Allen Levi

·       They Flew: A History of the Impossible by Carlos Eire

Tracey and Jamey’s suggestions:

·       What Grows in Weary Lands: On Christian Resilience by Tish Harrison Warren+

o   We love everything that Tish writes- see her other books as well:

§  Prayer in the Night and Liturgy of the Ordinary

·       Feasting on Hope by Hannah King+

·       Anatomy of the Soul by Dr. Curt Thompson

·       Finding God in the Waves By Mike McHargue

·       Life of the Beloved by Henri Nouwen+

·       Surrender, an autobiography by Bono of U2.

·       The City Between Series by W.R. Gingell (Jessica, a member of Redeemer Canonsburg, suggested this to us and we read all 11 books)

·       The Chief Inspector Gamache Series  by Louise Penny (is a favorite of many at TCW)

Our son Elijah, a creative writing major at Chatham University, suggests:

·       The Traveling Cat Chronicles Hiro Arikawa (tear jerker)

·       Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer (horror Sci Fi)

·       The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon (fantasy)

Here’s to a summer of reading!

Grace and peace,

Tracey+
