The deep conversation with Jerrod Hugenot, the Associate Executive Minister of the American Baptist Churches of New York State. He and Jonathan are being nostalgic, thinking about some of the books they read in the past year and being ambitious as they think about the books they might read in the next year. Check out Jerrod’s blog: Preaching and Pondering.

Fable the dog continues to joins the conversation and gives her input when she deems it appropriate.

This is not a bragging contest. At least it shouldn’t be because both are nerds and have nothing to brag about. They read books, and some of those books are interesting. Here are the books mentioned that Jerrod and Jonathan read in the last year:

And now, the books they hope to read in the next year:

The New Abolition by Gary Dorrien
