I have found a new joy/obsession ;) .... Now for the record, no one will replace CS Lewis' influence on my life, but I have found that I really enjoy Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I have heard numerous quotes by Bonhoeffer, and enjoyed them. I have recently been scanning some of his stuff at the bookstore when we go. I find that he (like CS Lewis) really challenges my thinking... for example--

"God's Unfathomable Love
Behold God become human, the unfathomable mystery of the love of God for the world. God loves human beings. God loves world. Not an ideal human, but human beings as they are; not an ideal world, but the real world. What we find repulsive in their opposition to God, what we shrink back from with pain and hostility, namely, real human beings, the real world, this is for God the ground of unfathomable love. God establishes a most intimate unity with this. God becomes human, a real human being . While we exert ourselves to grow beyond our humanity, to leave the human behind us, God becomes human; and we must recognize that God wills that we be human, real human beings. While we distinguish between pious and godless, good and evil, noble and base, God loves real people without distinction. God has no patience with our dividing the world and humanity according to our standards and imposing ourselves as judges over them. God leads us into absurdity by becoming a real human being and a companion of sinners, thereby forcing us to become the judges of God. God stands beside the real human being and the real world against all their accusers. So God becomes accused along with human beings and the world, and thus the jugges become the accused. --from Ethics 84
