Here are a bunch of books I’ve read. I’m funny because I rarely read a book in isolation. I usually read about 3 books at the same time, but they are all overlapping so I never get to a point where I say, “I’m not reading anything right now.”
Below is a link to all of these books on Amazon, and then links to articles that I’ve written that include those books. If you have a cool book you think I should read, send it my way.
This is blank right now because I was using some outdated Amazon affiliate codes. Come back sometime and see if this page is updated. If not, buy me a book!

I’m still taking a long, slow read through The Forgotten Ways by Alan Hirsch. It is really good. This week I’ve had several conversations about community, Christian community, koinonia, and church. This quote sounded really good for today as we go out to the YMCA Pancake Days, then play with neighborhood kids at boys group…
If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two weeks’ vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days. – Dorothy Canfield…
From The Trouble With Grace by Keith Hueftle Under orders, and with confidence in the person’s authority giving the orders, you might expect to do such a bizarre, inane thing. But this is not a call to presumption. Jesus is not asking to work up a so-called “faith” – self-generated – in order to make…
It’s to take feckless, immature, self-centered young recruits off the street and change them into a valid fighting unit. … Translate that biblically as to God’s purpose regarding a People!
