A Proposal

Dear Friends of Mere Image (specifically Joel and Superman),

I propose that, in the interests of sharpening of our minds and the strengthening of our hearts by healthy debate and discussion (something we could use some practice in), we use our unique understanding of life and truth to compile... A LIST! And not just any list but instead a list of

"The Ten Most Spiritually Enriching Works of Fiction and Creative Non-Fiction of the Twentieth Century" (or something like that)

Presented by Mere Image and it's readers

This would essentially be our version of Image Journal's booklist. And basically the same rules would apply; no author would appear twice on the list, the books would have to directly engage spiritual themes, the books would be either fiction and creative non-fiction etc.

I chiefly see the fruit of this list being the wonderful discussions we could have in deciding the list (if we don't kill each other first).

So, does this idea sound good to you?

yes, that sounds like a lot of fun! I've already got several candidates in mind, looking forward to seeing it materialise.

I think it is a great idea! The first one that pops in to my mind is "Peace Like A River". Doesn't it mostly deal with haveing faith that God will guied you and provide, when you are seeking His will.

Peace like a river would be great but it's from the Twenty First Century, not the Twentieth.
