Add to Your Library (You Know you Want To)
Today I guest-lectured at Baake Graduate University for my friend Neil Tibbot, professor and missional community specialist. These are the books I recommended: (in no particular order)
The Celtic Way of Evangelism: How Christianity Can Reach the West…Again
Flirting With Monasticism: Finding God on Ancient Paths (Haven’t actually read but got an advance copy and it looks interesting. A female writer!)
A Heretic\’s Guide to Eternity (one of my favorite postmodern church type books…but then you know how I feel about heretics.)
The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference (a must for anyone trying to get a movment going)
The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary RadicalShane and the tribe.)
School(s) for Conversion: 12 Marks of a New Monasticism Will for giving me this one.)
The New Friars: The Emerging Movement Serving the World’s Poor
all excellent read.
Thanks for the ideas.I can’t wait to read “A Heretic’s Guide.” And I’ve actually been looking at Monastic life (not that I could do it totally with my wife and three kids). But the idea of flirting… that sounds intriguing. Glad I stumbled upon your blog. Peace.
some of my favorite books too…
two novels that I would add that I think have a lot to say to those of us who are trying to learn to be faithful in a changing culture are The Sparrow and Children of God by Mary Doria Russell. She does an amazing job of showing what happens when you are clueless about the surrounding culture.
