Colleen Fuller tagged me.... List fifteen authors/writers (poets included) whove influenced you and/or will always stick with you. List the first 15 (or so) you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. Tag at least 5 friends, including the person who tagged you. In no particular order, and a bit of a mashup of fiction, non-fiction, poetry. Madeline LEngle, CS Lewis, Frederick Buechner, Dallas Willard, Eugene Peterson, Larry Crabb, John Eldridge (his earliest stuff before he got all pompous and lost his sense of wonder), Henri Nouen, Margaret Laurence, Ellis Peters, Terry Pratchett, Louise Penny, Tamora Pierce, and most recently: Sarah Bessey, and Nadia Bolz-Webber....(Bolz-Webbers book about a 24-hour marathon of Christian broadcasting made me hyper-ventilate in places, and her Pastrix is raw and real and Spirit-filled even while it challenges my good orthodoxy.) Ill tag Scott Kurtz, Gaye Jacobson Kurtz, James Graham,Valerie Ronald, Randie Jean and Nikki Gee.
