Who here is a fan of the eminent 20th century American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr? What works of his have you read?

Reverend Niebuhr was attending services at a church one day, and, to honor him, he was asked to give the benediction. Off of the top of his head, with no real thought put into it, he said those words known by almost all the world, in almost every language:::
"""God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."""
When asked, Niebuhr could not be sure if he himself had originated it, or if he had once read it somewhere else!
