Can’t wait. They should arrive before I finish A New Kind of Christian. Unfortunately there were a few that I really hated to cut from the order list, but we should be able to borrow some of them or pick them up locally… or in the next round. Cutting some of them was really tough, but the gift certificates we were using only went so far! (And I developed a new complaint about Chapters-Indigo; if the shipping of used books wasn’t $6.49 per item our dollars would have stretched further… horrible shipping hit on the used books for some reason, and they take weeks instead of days to ship; free shipping right away on the new books, which mean that the used items had to be at least $7 cheaper than new before you’d consider them.) Thanks for the suggestions responding to my earlier post… everything suggested that I don’t already own made it onto the list for eventual reading.
I just picked up the len Sweet book and will start it sometime this week. I am looking forward to reading it. BTW, Masters of War is one of my Dylan songs. With GOd on our Side is another favorite.
Peace,
Rick
Doug Pagitt’s book is brilliant. You’ll love it. Same with Celtic Way of Evangelism. Aqua Church is one of Sweet’s best.
Anything by Grenz & NT Wright is worth a read — it’ll make you think deeply, whether you agree with either of them or not.
I’d also suggest Robert Webber’s “Younger Evangelicals”, Len Sweet’s “Summoned To Lead”, and Robert Girard’s “Brethren, Hang Loose”.
Since you’re obviously on a reading roll…
