Reading in 2015

I'm probably not the best person to be handing out book lists.

I like to think about reading.  I like to read other people's reading lists.  And I DO like to read....I just don't do it enough.   But since a few people have recently asked about book recommendations, I thought I'd go ahead and compile a list of some of the things I'm hoping to read this year.

Slow Church:  Cultivating Community in the Patient Way of Jesus by C. Christopher Smith, John Pattison

Just Do Something: A Liberating Approach to Finding God's Will by Kevin DeYoung

Sentness:  Six Postures of Missional Christians by Kim Hammond, Darren Cronshaw

Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead by Brené Brown

The Village Effect: Why Face-to-Face Contact Is Good for Our Health, Happiness, Learning, and Longevity by Susan Pinker

Deep and Wide by Andy Stanley

The Best Yes: Making Wise Decisions in the Midst of Endless Demands by Lysa TerKeurst

I DID actually get a few books read in 2014.   Here are some great ones I would recommend:
