now reading and awaiting release
It's been a while since I've shared my reading list around these parts. I've have a commitment problem with books. I tend to juggle five or six books at a time, and finish them very slowly. The theory is that I will digest their content more fully if I read them over a long period of time. That's the theory anyway.
Without further ado, books I have recently finished:
The Maytrees, Annie Dillard
Plan B, Anne Lamott
The Great Emergence, Phyliss Tickle
Books I am currently reading:
The Last Lecture, Randy Pausch
Surprised by Hope, N.T. Wright
Sustainable Youth Ministries, Mark DeVries
The Forgotten Ways, Alan Hirsch
Books that I will begin to read as soon as I can take something off of the above list:
Culture Making, Andy Crouch
The Blue Parakeet, Scot McKnight
Love is an Orientation, Andrew Marin
When Kids Hurt, Chap Clark
Something fun... maybe a modern classic or two... suggestions?

3 talk backs:
what do you think of surprised by hope? that's been on my to-read list too but it's hard to prioritize.
surprised by hope is something I picked up during holy week and have read bit by bit and i think it very enjoyably read that way. i like to let books like surprised by hope sink in over a long period of time. i think it has really heightened my sensitivities to how resurrection and eschatological theologies shape our outlook on faith action. NT Wright is meaty without being stuffy. I've enjoyed it... only 20 pages left. :)
If you haven't already, Donald Miller is a great read. I just finished "Searching for God Knows What" and I'm planning on buying one for as many people as I can. Definitely worth the read, and easy to put down/pick up later if you like to stretch these things out :)
