Books By My Bed

Here are some books I've recently read or am reading right now ... good stuff!

 

  •  Ezekiel in the Bible.  Another tough Old Testament book of prophecy.  The question I'm asking as I read it is, "Why does God have to go to such great lengths for us to recognize and obey Him?"

  • Leadership Gold by John Maxwell.  A great summary of Maxwell's leadership lessons over the past 60 years of his life.  Honestly, one of the best leadership books I've ever read. 

  • Experiencing the Presence of God by Charles Finney.  A collection of works by one of the great spiritual giants whose ministry shoulders we all stand on today.

  • The Power-Filled Life by R.A. Torrey.  Another collection by another spiritual giant.  I'm being drawn in by some classic works of the faith ... GOOD STUFF!!

  • Doing Church as a Team by Wayne Cordeiro.  Some of our staff are reading through this book on mobilizing the church to work together to accomplish more for God.


And 2 books I just bought:

  • The Gospel According to Starbucks by Leonard Sweet.  (Yes there really is such a book!)  The sub-title is called "Living with a Grande Passion."  Leonard Sweet is a Christian futurist and has written some great works on the state of the church and Christianity in America and what we must do to reach today's ever changing culture.

  • Jesus Brand Spirituality by Ken Wilson.  I just liked the title and backcover summary.   It sort of resonated with a series we may do around Christmas.
