I probably never would have picked up this book if it were not for my friend Robert Doell’s recomendation. Robert works at Lifeway and everytime I go in there he has something new to recommend. Which is great, because I like reading books that others have read. So the most recent recommendation was The ShackContinue reading “The Shack – Review”

Jim and Casper
So far I am totally digging Jim and Casper Go To Church. Church leaders you need to read this book. You might not agree, but it’s not asking you to agree, it’s telling you what other people think.

Boredom
This quote come from a book called blessed are the uncool. Pretty good book that I am learning from for our current series on authenticity. “Boredom is sometimes a mood in our hearts or our communities or even our churches, but at its root boredom is the refusal to take delight in the world thatContinue reading “Boredom”
