I'm not big on planning what to read in advance, but this blog hop looked like it could be fun. My reading schedule has been a bit wonky lately, so I'm keeping my list fairly short for now. I might update it as time goes by (lengthen or shorten). For now here's my projected list:
1. The English American by Alison Larkin
2. Rechurch: Healing Your Way Back to the People of God by Stephen Mansfield
3. Dexter Is Delicious by Jeff Lindsay
4. The Feast: How to Serve Jesus in a Famished World by Joshua Graves
5. Caught Stealing by Charlie Huston
6. Mere Discipleship: Radical Christianity in a Rebellious World by Lee C. Camp
John--I try to alternate fiction and nonfiction. I tend toward dark fiction so this gives my psyche as well as my intellect a break! I'll let you know what I think about "Caught Stealing". A friend recommended it.
ReplyDeleteMelanie, I just finished the Hank Thompson trilogy. There is a lot of foul language and they are very violent, but I thought the plots were worth it and I found the character of Hank Thompson intriguing. They are very dark, but I will read more by this author.
ReplyDeleteLee Camp is great--I am sure we have a copy of Mere Discipleship, don't know if I've read all the way through it or not . . . I'm sure Chris has.
Have you read any of Barbara Brown Taylor? She spoke at CSC 2 years ago. Her book, An Altar in the World, is a very good book about prayer. I found it helpful.
I am trying to read some new authors this year. I've found a few I really like!
ML -- Yes I have read several BBT. I really love her! Joshua Graves is our new minister at OC. I like is approach to sermons very much, and am looking forward to reading his book.
