List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?

I’m going to leave the Bible out of this response because it is much more than “book”.

• George Orwell’s Animal Farm,
• Haile Selassie I University Press’ Utterances of His Imperial Majesty
• Brevard Child’s Biblical Theology

The first for opening my eyes (in a very creative way) to society’s lies and justice game; the second for steering me away from a shallow kind of Rastafarianism, and the third for putting the genuine values of the two divisions of the Holy Bible into a healthy perspective.
