For the past couple of years I've taken a week and read or re-read books by a particular author of interest. (One would need six months to study the works of Walter Brueggemann...)It's been fun to go back and re-reread Kathleen Norris, Barbara Brown Taylor and Henri Nouwen this way (Nouwen took longer, too.)
This week,since I'm not preaching next Sunday, I'm reading and re-reading Brian McLaren's books, beginning with The Church on the Other Side. I think it will be a helpful author to learn from again as our congregation gets ready for a new year with new challenges and opportunities.

now THAT sounds like something I'll have to get ahold of RIGHT NOW!
oh by the way, word verification is "corse"
So glad you're posting regularly. I like your new quilt logo. You always recommend good books, so let us know about your reading this week!
I have several books I have read and re-read. Each time I find new insights.
I know I've encountered his name before, but I haven't read his books. The book sounds thought provoking.
now that sounds like an interesting process....
I really loved McLaren's Church on the Other Side... excellent stuff in there!
