Books Read
- Homer/fagles: Illiad
I'm actually reading the Illiad. Felt like if I didn't read it sometime before I die I'd be a chump. I'm admittedly not much into fiction. I usually watch mine. (**) Malcolm Gladwell: Outliers: The Story of Success
Very interesting read! (***)Ben Witherington III: The Gospel of Mark: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary
Using it for NC's new study through Mark's GospelTom Wright: Mark for Everyone
Very accessable. I like what Wright has written.Cyril Richardson: Early Christian Fathers (Library of Christian Classics (Paperback Westminster))
Reading with my Church History reading group. (****)C. Rene Padilla: Mission Between the Times: Essays on the Kingdom
From a missionary great. Required for my Missional Church class.Lesslie Newbigin: Foolishness to the Greeks: The Gospel and Western Culture
Newbigin is one of my favorites. I am re-reading this classic for my Missional Church class at Whitworth University. (*****)Jean Vanier: Jean Vanier: Essential Writings (Modern Spiritual Masters)
Awesome. Many have not read much of Vanier, but he is the founder L'Arche.Andrew Perriman: Re: Mission: Biblical Mission for a PostBiblical Church
Thoughtfully written by a respected friend. However, in simple terms, I differ with several of his principal assumptions which lead to differing conclusions. (**)Walter Brueggemann: Awed to Heaven, Rooted in Earth: Prayers of Walter Brueggemann
I seem to be reading this all the time. Amazing...really! (*****)
