“There is not a flower that opens, not a seed that falls into the ground, and not an ear of wheat that nods on the end of its stalk in the wind that does not preach and proclaim the greatness and the mercy of God to the whole world.” – Thomas Merton

“My personal life may be crowded with small petty incidents, altogether unnoticeable and mean; but if I obey Jesus Christ in the haphazard circumstances, they become pinholes through which I see the face of God, and when I stand face to face with God I will discover that through my obedience thousands were blessed. ” – Oswald Chambers

Books read February 2014

February was a good month for taking care of sick children and trying to put together a class syllabus. It was not a good month for meeting reading goals.

My goal is to read at least 52 books in 2014 (at least one book per week); I've finished 7 books so far this year: I finished the following books in February (~427 pages).:

Los orígenes de nuestra cultura autoritaria by José Ignacio Garcia Hamilton
The King Jesus Gospel: The Original Good News Revisited by Scot McKnight

García's tome on how the colonial history of Latin America (and specifically, Argentina) continues to plague its progress was very interesting, and I put up a long review/summary (in Spanish) at Good Reads.
McKnight's little thesis was good and reached a lot of conclusions I've already reached from reading John Driver.
