A fantastic book about King's life which deals with him as a human being not a saint . It examines his theology, his personal life with compassion and his relationship with the African American community . And just for laughs - I am rereading the Phantom Tollbooth - a childhood favourite about Milo and his adventures Currently rereading The True Martin Luther King by Michael Dyson .

I actually preached a sermon a few months ago on why the gospels were probably a better model for post modern evangelism whereas paul's epistles gave us models for a modernist approach :) Having said that, it's still a lot for a creaky baby boomer ..

He uses the different characters of the Hundred Acres Woods to illustrate different concepts in Taoism, even adopting some of the stories and songs of AA Milne in service of his illustrations. He intersperses this with quotes from Taoist writings and humorous little conversations with Pooh, Tigger and the gang themselves. It is quite clever actually.
