What I'm Reading Now

I'm asked often what books I'm reading, although I'm not sure if people want to know this to see where I'm getting my "damnable doctrine" as one person put it (ha), or if there is genuine interest. Either way, here goes. I try to read as many books as I can with as many different views as possible, as I don't want to be anyone's parrot. It's also important to note that I'm constantly reading the Text in various translations and paraphrases.


Recently Finished:


Primal [Mark Batterson] — by far the best book I've ever read… I read it twice, back-to-back
A Shepherd Looks At Psalm 23 [W. Phillip Keller] — third reading, awesome book
Outliers [Malcom Gladwell] — very good read, helps to affect change


Currently Reading:


Crazy Love [Francis Chan]
What Paul Meant [Garry Wills]
Everything Must Change [Brian D. McLaren]
Irresistible Revolution [Shane Claiborne]
New Covenant, New Community [Petrus J. Gräbe]
Wild Goose Chase [Mark Batterson]


I don't make it a practice to do book reviews, but I recommend that everyone who claims to be a disciple of Jesus read Primal and Crazy Love. If you're a pastor, or desire the office of pastor, I highly recommend A Shepherd Looks At Psalm 23.


It would be great to see what you're reading as well. Feel free to post your book list.
