Summer Reading David W Hall

This small book is a brief exploration of the past and great literature and thought from the Christian tradition. From the outset, most of us would do well to agree with Lord Acton who said: "Just as loss of memory in an individual is a psychiatric defect calling for a medical treatment, so too any community which has no social memory is suffering from an illness." This summer reading series, a handy introduction to great thinkers and topics from the past is dedicated to those ends. Summer is a time to relax and expand our minds. This short book seeks to introduce readers to 12 of the best Christian Classics--ranging from Bunyan to Spurgeon, from Lewis to Chesterton, and from Calvin to Luther. Consider this a sampler platter for meaningful reading.
