Here are a few things:
The Heart of Evangelism is apparently superb and 'so freeing about how to share Jesus with others'.
The Radical Evangelical was described by one of our number as '..the best Christian book I have ever read"
Nevertheless tells the story of Christians against poverty and is '...not that well written but completely life-changing'
Two books that are not from the usual stable of Men on Mountain reading are 'Why go to Church' by Timothy Radcliffe and 'Hit the ground kneeling' by Cotterill.
Novel wise 'The boy in striped pyjamas' is breath-taking and was....' a book that had to be finished in bed in the morning rather than taking the kids to school.'
One of us is grappling with leading change and is enjoying Our iceberg is melting.
A website discovery that seems worth clicking around is Art and Faith
A wonderful book for ministry by Peterson called the Gift. $79 is a bit pricey but search for it it is ...'really good'.
A loved book for funerals is 'When grief is raw'. This is particularly helpful for times of real tragedy.
Two books that are.....'so helpful for understanding our times' are 'The Age of Anxiety' (Can't find which one so perhaps a comment may be left so I can do a link?) and 'Affluenza'
One of us translated Micah 6 vs 8 "Be fair, Let it go, Get real with God'. I like it.
A blog one of us reads is of the work of Theodore Dalrymple and if you want some background on him here it is. Read and see because '...about 10% of the stuff he writes is stunningly perceptive and true-you just have to work out which is the 10%'.
Finally Compassion Art is a worship album you may love.
Oh and my books of the year are the two volumes of MLJ's life.
Take them on holiday with you
