Top Five

A new friend of mine asked me to e-mail him a list of my top five books that deal with the modern to post-modern shift, spiritual formation, the Emergent conversation, missional theology etc... That was awhile back and I never did it,--not the best way to keep new friends--so I thought I would list my top five books that cover these issues in this space. The list--though a top five--is not in any particular order.

• A New Kind of Christian--Brian D. McLaren
• More Ready Than You Realize--Brian D. McLaren
• soulTsunami--Leonard Sweet
• The Emerging Church--Dan Kimball
• Missional Church--Darrel l. Guder, ed.

So, what's on my reading table right now? I thought you'd never ask.

• The Faces of Forgiveness: Searching for Wholeness and Salvation--F. Leron Shults
• The Barbarian Way: Unleash the Untamed Faith Within--Erwin Raphael McManus
• Morph: The Texture of Leadership for Tomorrow's Church--Ron Martoia

I hope you're reading some great and challenging stuff too. What's on your top five list of recent reads?
