In The End, Fall Of Berlin Wall Was Gorbachev's Call : NPR

In The End, Fall Of Berlin Wall Was Gorbachev's Call : NPR

Thinking of these events in these days. I've got a signed copy of Gorbachev's Autobiography on my shelf, sat in line at a Barnes & Noble in Washington D.C. for a whole day to get it, back in the days when I was a seminary student with very few commitments and lots of time on my hands. Visiting the wall and check point charlie were some major travel experiences for us while in Germany... Great article to summarize and update readers on the historical ins and outs of the period.

Lectures to my students: complete ... - Google Books

Lectures to my students: complete ... - Google Books Charles Spurgeon's lectures are something I've read only because they are quoted so often... this is my first time actually working through them. Reading it for a class with Will Willimon this January in Birmingham, Alabama. They're really refreshing and good. He's such a good writer. They're seldom "dated," although I tire of his attacks on "popery" and laughed when I read him make a "phrenological" observation.

Nevertheless, worth reading for anyone who preaches or serves in parish ministry.
