- I don't truly see myself as only average. I just believe I am like so many other people who feel called to greatness and at the same time feel completely inadequate. This blog will prove that I AM actually completely inadequate. Enjoy.

I am not a fan of these recommendations (granted this is her opinion, and stated as such - which she is entitled to have). I understand what the author was going for, but don't you think such a plan divorces the bible from any narrative theme or context? What sense does a savior make, if there is no notion of a fall? What are people saved from? If there is no Abrahamic covenant, where does the Seed come from? How can we really understand the wisdom literature (Proverbs or Ecc.) without a strong understanding of natural theology grounded in creation? I think this reading list misses the greater context of scripture (which a top 5 list will naturally do), but there is no attempt to find a greater meta-narrative, and that seems like a shame for a starting point.
just my $.02

I appreciate the comment Adam. Hopefully you don't mind, but I just took your comment and turned it into a response post on this. I respect your perspective and believe that it should be considered as well.
Thanks for your friendship.
