We live in a world that is ever changing, yet still the same. The world continues to evolve on a daily basis - just the fact that you're reading this on a blog is proof of the world's evolution. Technology shifts and evolves, from phones to computers to the internet, we exist in a subculture of perpetual change. The "latest thing" changes. What was "hot" last week, is now cooling off on the back range. Celebrity markings change, who we thought was the greatest last year, no longer shines in the spotlight. The hippest style of clothing is now rags for washing the toilet. The intriguing literature of last year is pushed aside for something new and innovative.
Yet at the core we remain the same. We are consistently people starving for purpose and truth. We are a people who throughout time have searched for truth, hope, purpose, and in all the wrong places. We are people who desire love and connectivity, yet when we find it we run from it, scarred of the implications. We are a people who since Adam and Eve have been separated from God and his truth, hope, purpose, and love - and like the many before us have grappled with returning to the sanctuary of the garden.
Our world is ever changing. Yet our world is still the same.
What we are doing to affect change? And what are we doing to solve the sameness?

That's quite a list there! My list would be no where near as long if I limited myself to books that I bought. :D Good luck on finishing the challenge!
