The Drum

From a missionary great. Required for my Missional Church class.

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! (*****)
