reading week

watch for some reflections on this list:

The reading will be some or all of these 4 books .... plus a back log of newspapers ;-)

1. Jonathan Edwards and the Ministry of the Word: A Model of Faith and Thought, Douglas A. Sweeney, Inter Varsity Press 2009 .... Edwards had a multifaceted understanding of Scripture. The Bible was at the center of his intellectual and pastoral life.

2. In Search of a Confident Faith: Overcoming Barriers to Trusting in God,J. P. Moreland and Klaus Issler, Inter Varsity Press 2008 .... This is a call to, a handbook on, robust faith; what could be called 'God-confidence'.

3. Living the Lord's Prayer: The Way of the Disciple, Albert Haase, Inter Varsity Press 2009 .... This prayer is a trustworthy guide for spiritual formation and a compact handbook for holiness. The idea is to live The Lord's Prayer rather than to simply say it.

4. The Next Evangelicalism: Freeing the Church from Western Cultural Captivity, Soong-Chan Rah, Inter Varsity Press 2009 .... Many churches are not equipped to minister to the changing cultural context, which is diverse and multiethnic. Spiritual renewal is happening in corners and margins that will soon become the new center and strength of Christianity.

So, if I can't read them all, where should I start? Your opinion? Follow some of the things I'm learning
