Holidays are usually a time for me to catch up on some reading or finish some of the books that I have been working through for a while. My Facebook virtual bookshelf currently only has 8 books listed as 'I want to read' so things seem currently to be under control.This past week I have finished a great little book, 'God has a dream: A vision of hope for our time' by Desmond Tutu.
With just over 100 pages making up the main text of the book, there are some who could read this through in one sitting. And the language is certainly accessible enough for most people to be able to make sense of what Desmond Tutu is saying . You won't need a dictionary and a theology degree to access this work.
Others may take many days or weeks to read this book, as there is much, almost on every page to merit further reflection. Whether it is digging around a point you don't agree with, or meditating on topics like the love of God for you, or your part in God's dream you certainly benefit from not reading it through in one sitting.
Last year the best book I read was Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell. This year I think this book by Desmond Tutu takes the title of my book of the year. Get a copy and dig in.
