Now that’s a list. I just gave the Newbigin book to my son at the SFOT in a box he’ll share as a fund-raiser for his session. I have five more boxes to donate…Time to reduce.

Giving books away? NO!
Anyway, I’m struggling through Volf’s Exclusion and Embrace, partway through Newbigin’s The Open Secret, and revisiting Brueggemann’s, the Prophetic Imagination. My head is swimming . . .

These are some good references. I have read some of them as well. Keep reading and praying and living in holiness.

I Just finished “Blue Like Jazz” and now I am tearing through “searching For God Knows What” Donald Miller is refreshing

I’m into “1776″ right now but fairly recently finished a re-read of P. Yancey’s “What’s So Amazing About Grace.” Always a timely, provacative word there, like anything else from Mr. Yancey. Next up – Larry’s recomendation, “Generous Orthodoxy.”

Coincidentally, Chief, I have an old book of yours I picked up at a book fair at the SFOT when I was a cadet. It was a gift from someone to you – I’ll name neither the title nor the giver, lest they should read this & take offense to your cavalier attitude toward their generosity :-)! I’ll vouch for your reading it, though – your notes are in the margins!

A great quote from Blue like Jazz, in one of the chapters on love and a great lesson for reaching out to those evangelicals consider untouchable( gays, liberals, any other relgion) I’m paraphrasing “People will only listen to you if they think you like them” He told this in reference to a person who he was very judgemental about, truly a lesson for us all.
