Back in 1999, I thought very strongly about leaving the Baptist name behind - if not the Christian name, preferring instead to label myself "a follower of Jesus." I reclaimed the Christian name a year later and now in 2002 I have decided that I am indeed a Baptist. The current state of the SBC does not reflect Baptist values - it betrays them. In this book, 26 Baptist leaders (such as Jimmy Carter and Tony Campolo) write about why they remain Baptists.

This illustrated reference book was put together by Father Michael Collins, a Catholic, and Matthew A. Price, a Protestant.

Recommended to me by a friend from Georgetown college. It is on my list of books to read.

An Ecumenical Study Bible. I recommend this Bible and also The Complete Parallel Bible the most.

This book is over 600 pages long and is the collection of Dr. King's writings, sermons, and interviews. Everyone should read his 1963 Letter from Birmingham City Jail.

This Audiobook was put out in 2001 and is 7 CD's of original recordings of Dr. King - collected for the first time ever. The audio quality varies, but the historical and, more importantly, the inspirational value is superb!

The proverb "A picture is worth a thousand words" is certainly true when looking at the injustice against the black community in the United States just 40 years ago. Inspiring in how non-violence can win against deep rooted hatred - disturbing in how the cancer of racism infected the white community.
