speaking of reading...
A month or so ago some fellow bloggers were doing the book list thing. I didn't jump in at the time cause my list is pitifully short. Then again it's very cool how books find their way onto my shelf and into my consciousness, mostly cause I seldom buy books, they are either given to me or i find them second hand, or sign them out of someone's personal library and then never return it. timing is everything., and some of these gems have changed my world
so here goes, I think I'll list a few books and then blog a little on some of them
The Different Drum / Scott Peck
Unknown Gods / Bibby
Reaching Out / Henri Nouwen
A House That Stands / Tim King
The Fifth Discipline / Peter Senge
Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret
7 habits of highly effective People
Mission and Message of Jesus (commentary)
The Joy of Drumming
The Prophetic Imagination / Walter Bruggemann
An Arrow Pointing to Heaven (Rich Mullins biography)
oh there are probably others but I'm not really a "big reader".
The Different Drum is a great resource book for growing community, see link to "FCE" in sidebar for scotty's "Foundation for community encouragment".
the Prophetic Imagination is where I've been lately, well some would argue that that's where I've always been (chuckle) . a quick table o' contents (I "signed out" this book from Stew's library)
1. The Alternative community of Moses
2. The Royal Consciousness: countering the counter culture
3.Prophetic Criticizing and the embrace of Pathos
4.Prophetic Evergizing and the Emergence of Amazment
5. Criticism and Pathos in Jesus of Nazareth
6. Energizing and the Amazement in Jesus of Nazareth
7. A note on the Practice of Ministry
one of those books that make me feel like the author has been reading my mail.
BTW Tim King, Kevin Beck at presence are offering the next transformations online course beginning the end of August. I highly recommend this! I as an "alumni" am able to participate as well, it would be so cool to have some others in my circle experience this first hand.
sorry i didn't have much more to say on my reading, but whatever.
peace

what in hell?
Ah, the new era of blog spam!
This is a thought I have never really come across. THe notion of West being the pioneering way and east being the way back to our roots is quite intriguing. I loved going out east to Cape Breton and Halifax to see the old buildings and way of life, and this year we went to Vancouver Island to see a much different scape.
Good call!
