Watership Down: Richard Adams
I LOVED THIS BOOK! In fact I loved it so much that I persuaded the book club (yes I'm in a book club... but its quite cool.. like I'm the oldest one in it.. ) to read it too.
Watership Down is beautifully descriptive, has great characterisation and a wonderful allegory. Its just wonderful- and probably lost on most children to whom it is read.
I loved the comparisons of journeying together as a church or bunch of people setting out as pioneers. I love the way that we see that people have to be released and trusted in their giftings. I love the way that there are phases of the journey, each distinct, and that there is settling and growth too.
I love the community, the way that rabbits lick each others wounds to clean them, defend each other and release each other too.
This is a much better book on church planting than most in the Christian book stores. But it is about bunnies.. which should be forgotten when reading much of it, lest it becomes too heart rending!!!
My favourite read so far!!!!
