Along The Way (20/June/2006)

Tuesday night… went to the bookstore today to grab some reading for the summer. I was after a book my brother Dave recommended to me called ‘The Pressure Is Off’ by Larry Crabb. Nobody in town has it. I’ll have to see if I can order one. He tells me this book will be a very thought provoking read – so you know I am after it! I managed to grab a couple of books that look like they’ll be thought provoking. One of them is the 2005 release by Gibbs and Bolger entitled ‘Emerging Churches – Creating Christian Community in Post-Modern Cultures’. I’ve heard enough about it (mostly respected names vilifying it), I figured I might give it a read. A preacher friend of mine has literally told me pastors in his denomination would lose their job if folks in authority found out they were reading this book. Give me a break! The other one I picked up is called ‘Provocative Faith – Walking Away From Ordinary’ by Matthew Paul Turner. He wrote a book called ‘Coffeehouse Gospel’ that I read last year and enjoyed, so I’ll give this one a shot.

Anybody reading anything good?
