Read last month:
Don’t Stop Believing: Why Living Like Jesus Is Not Enough, Michael Wittmer -What an enjoyable book this was! Wittmer writes like I hope I will. He covered topics that postmodern innovators (his name for Emergent folks) question or deny. The only chapter I didn’t like was the one on hell but other than that, it was pretty good. I’m just not sure how I would ever use this book. Perhaps if I had some friends flirting with the Emergent church or something. Still, I enjoyed it. Might have to read Wittmer’s other book Heaven is a Place on Earth.
Ongoing reading:
Getting Things Done, David Allen – I didn’t really finish this and I’m not sure I ever will. I’m going very slowly and am implementing as I go. This will obviously be an on going project. Great stuff and I very strongly recommend this book!
The Drama of Scripture: Finding Our Place in the Biblical Story, Craig Bartholomew & Michael Goheen – Still working through it for the Sunday school class. Going slowly through this as well.
Didn’t get to but will be this month:
Leading With a Limp, Dan Allender – Already started this one and it is good so far. There is some repetition in it but it seems like it will be worth reading.
Starting this month:
Instruction in Faith, John Calvin – It’s Calvin’s 500th birthday this year and I’m not going to read the Institutes. Dr. Tiénou [1] quoted part of it during a sermon a few weeks ago and I ordered it two days later.
