Book that has me on fire!

Hi,
Some you wanted to know the book I was reading yesterday.

The Prophetic Imagination, by Walter Brueggemann.

According to Joe, Walter Brueggemann is the greatest living interpreter of the Old Testament. This book is especially for all you who care deeply about the world and the crisis we are all in. It speaks to the numbing of Empire on its people. That includes you and me. This book is on fire. The language is scholarly, perhaps dense, but the truth of ancient times -- Moses, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Jesus-- and these modern times, is  beautifully articulated by this prophetic voice.

Whenever we practice presence we are stepping out of the ordinary conditioned reality, the empire of ego, the empire of the culture, the empire of consumerism. When we are free from the numbing, from denial, even for just a few moments, we are participating in prophetic imagination.
