Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Winter 2010 concert review
As part of my son’s Christmas gift this year, he and I attended the Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s Winter 2010 concert in Duluth, GA, last evening. (Okay, I was not part of the gift; I was just the driver.) We started off the night by forgetting the tickets. Thankfully, owing to an early start and a helpful spouse, we did not lose too much time and still made it to the arena in plenty of time....
Book recommendations, Days 10, 11, 12, 13
Sorry for the delay in these recent posts. It’s been pretty busy. So, I welcome back the two of you who are still stopping by this website! Today is a miscellaneous kind of day, so these recommendation will not fit any specific category. The first two are books I’ve recommended to those struggling with doubt beyond issues of believing in Christ. These address the issues of the existence of God. As I have written...
Book recommendations, Day 9
Today’s recommendation comes from the field of business. This volume is now a few years old, but it has never failed to get a “Thank you” from people to whom I’ve recommended it. The name of the book is The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, by Patrick Lencioni. From a review by Howard Rothman: Lencioni weaves his lessons around the story of a troubled Silicon Valley firm and its unexpected choice for a new...
Book recommendations, Days 6, 7, 8
Sorry for the delay, but it was a very busy weekend with no time to post. I’ve decided to theme this post around apologetics, that is proofs for the Christian faith. Four books will be included. Each is worth the read; any combination would be a great gift. First up is Joan Ball’s Flirting With Faith a review of which can be found in my book reviews. This is a first rate book, helpful...
Book recommendations, Day 5
The Pursuit of God is one of the books that has impacted my life and spiritual growth the most. It falls into the devotional category, and was written by pastor/theologian A. W. Tozer. There are some children running around today, who bear the name Aiden, named after this man whose writing impacted their parents’ lives. If you are looking for a good book to re-ignite your spiritual passion, or a gift to encourage another...
Book recommendations, Day 4
Any leader in any church can benefit from reading Earl Creps’s Off Road Disciplines: Spiritual Adventures for Missional Leaders. Len Sweet of George Fox University writes, “This is one of the most exciting books I have read in years. It shifts our focus form doing church to being church and promises to be a standard reference in all future discussions of missional leadership.” Ed Stetzer of LifeWay Christian Resources says, “Too many of us...
Book recommendations, Day 3
Only one book for today, but it is a winner. It has been years since I read Wisdom Hunter by Randall Arthur. It was, and remains, in my estimation, one of the most important Christian novels ever written. It certainly is one of the most important of the last half of the 20th century. If you struggle with legalism or know anyone who does, this is the book you need to get or gift...
Book recommendations, Day 2
Today, three books from New York city pastor Timothy Keller of Redeemer Presbyterian Church. Each of them are worth your time. The Reason for God was a NYT bestseller. From one review: “In this apologia for Christian faith, Keller mines material from literary classics, philosophy, anthropology and a multitude of other disciplines to make an intellectually compelling case for God. Written for skeptics and the believers who love them, the book draws on the...
Book recommendations, Day 1
First up on my list of book recommendations (which also make great gift suggestions) are two from a man a friend calls “the conscience of evangelicalism,” Phillip Yancey. I personally have never read a Yancey book that did not challenge and/or teach me greatly. These are two of his best. Concerning Disappointment with God, one reviewer said, “This is, hands down, the best treatment on the subject of the problem of pain that I...
