I realized last week if I am going to hit my goal of 50 books in 2007 I’m going to have to get on it (let’s face it, I probably won’t get to 50). So I put some concerted effort to finishing up Marcus Buckingham’s Go Put Your Strengths To Work.
As I mentioned […]

I finished up Guy Kawasaki’s book The Art of the Start earlier this week. I have really enjoyed reading Guy’s blog over the last 6 months or so and have really grown to appreciate his insight, wit, and wisdom.
Guy was an “evangelist” for Apple in the 80’s and in the 90’s launched Garage […]
I finished The Drama of Scripture by Craig Bartholomew and Michael Goheen. The book is an absolute gem and if you haven’t read it yet you need to purchase a copy immediately!
The basic point of the book is to provide an introductory look at the grand overarching narratival flow of the Bible. The […]
I just finished Pete Rollins book How (Not) To Speak Of God which will surely prove to be an important work for those engaged in the Emering/Emergent Church Conversation. Tony Jones has state he won’t speak to anyone about the issues if they haven’t read this book (paraphrase) and McLaren says he is a […]
During my prep for Sunday I re-read several chapters from JP Moreland’s Scaling the Secular City: A Defense of Christianity. I first came into contact with this book my sophomore year of college. While it is some 20 years old at this point, I still think it is the best single volume evidentiary […]
One of the books I re-read in the last few weeks is Lee Strobel’s The Case for a Creator. For those unfamiliar, this book follows Strobel’s best selling technique of interviews with experts on various issues related to the topic (ala The Case for Christ & The Case for Faith).
Strobel interviews many of the […]
For the love of Pete what took me so long to finally finish this book? It’s a light book, simple enough concepts, but has taken me a lifetime to finish. In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day is the second book by Mark Batterson, pastor of National Community Church in […]
Cory has already placed a review of this book but I thought I’d provide my two cents as well…
Needing a break from all the science books and philosophy of science books I’ve been reading I finished up The Big Idea by Dave & Jon Ferguson & Eric Bramlett from Community Christian in Chicago. Let me […]
This book came in about a week ago & a lady who works in NextStep store was having trouble figuring out how to categorize this book & where to put it. “I just don’t like the title,” she says. The title definitely makes you perk up. Sex God. God & Sex - do they […]
Tim at Living Open Source has a nice post describing Rob Bell’s Velvet Elvis as “respraying” the Christian faith.
I’ll admit … I own this book, but have not read past the intro yet.
But what I like about Bell is his way of putting historic truths in a totally unique perspective. I’m assuming this book is […]
