📖 God of the Oppressed by James Cone and Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler

“It is impossible to interpret the Scripture correctly and thus understand Jesus aright unless the interpretation is done in the light of the consciousness of the oppressed in their struggle for liberation.” God of the Oppressed by James Cone

Octavia Butler, Parable of the Sower:
This book changed how I think about everything. "All that you touch, you change; all that you change, changes you." It's about resilience and adaptability, but it's also about how the stories we tell about our reality actually end up becoming our reality. We have a lot more power than we often think. Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler
