Abraham Joshua Heschel: The Sabbath
This has got to the best book on this subject ever written.I would rank it as one of the best books I've read this year!!! (*****)

Chris McChesney: The 4 Disciplines of Execution: Achieving Your Wildly Important Goals
Vision and strategy are only part of the equation. Lack of execution of a plan is the dream killer. This book is helpful. (****)

Donald Miller: A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: How I Learned to Live a Better Story
Really enjoying this book. It is not earth-shatteringly insightful, but D Miller's writing style is always engaging and has made me go, "hmmm," more than a few times. (****)

Mike Breen: Launching Missional Communities
Read while in Europe. Pretty good, yet quite elemental. Honestly, seems like stuff we worked through a long time ago. For some, however, I'm sure it will be helpful. (***)

Joshua Foer: Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything
Fascinating and fun to read. Alas, you can gain techniques to assist memory, but in the end, you are still stuck with your raw material. It was very enjoyable to read though. (****)
