Reading

-
I've not done a very good job maintaining my reading list lately. But, for the few who may find it of interest -- here are three good books I've read lately:

1. Jesus, the Pastor, by John Frye. This is an outstanding book on pastoral ministry, using Jesus as our model. (Most writing on pastoral ministry uses St. Paul as the focus, rather than Jesus.) Frye inspired me to read the Gospels through the lens of "Jesus as Pastor" -- what does that say about my own pastoral work from day to day? One of the best three books I've read in the last year!

2. Unchristian: What A New Generation Thinks About Christianity. . . and Why it Matters, by David Kinnamon. Alarming research which reveals how the rising generation views Chrsitians -- especially Evangelicals. It's eye-opening.

3. Homiletics, by Donald E. Demaray This is going to be the textbook for a course I will be teaching soon. An easy and insightful read -- which covers all the various aspects of preaching the Gospel. Great book!

    hi really exhaustive blog. Keep it up. Speaking of books, click
    here to check out my site - It's basically about a manual I've written on the language of music (music theory). I've also covered guitar technique.

    thanks, j

    p.s...visit my blog and sites in there - there's lots of free internet marketing reports and ebooks (that i've written)...and these are all available as free downloads.

    thanks again!

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
