Books That Changed My Life
I was tagged by Brad over at Mission Church Network. Awesome site by the way for those looking for a great conversation on missional living. The question was, what are the books that changed your life. So here goes.
One Book That Changed Your Life
This would have to be Tale of Three Kings by Gene Edwards. This to me is the best book every written on the nature of God’s kingdom and learning to trust.
One Book That You Read More Than Once
A Hidden Wholeness by Parker Palmer. I have read the first chapter at least twenty times. This book was for me one of the best conversations on wholeness.
One Book You Would Want on a Desert Island
Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers by Robert Sapolsky. If I’m on a desert island I would want this book. It’s all about stress.
One Books That Made You Laugh
Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. Donald is one of the most gifted writers of conversation. I love his style and ability to share his heart.
One Book That Made You Cry
No Future Without Forgiveness by Bishop Desmond Tutu. This is the most powerful book on reconciliation I have ever read. It is impossible to walk away from what happened in South Africa and not see hope.
One Book You Wish You Had Written
This was the most intriguing question so I chose one of pleasure. The Firm by John Grisham. Still his best book and a great movie. I could have been wealthy.
One Book You Are Currently Reading
The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck. This book could be considered one of the first emerging philosophy books written for the post modern age before anyone had heard the word post modern. Brilliant read on love.
One Book You Have Been Meaning to Read
The Divine Embrace by Robert Webber. I’ve heard very good things about this book, which Scot McKnight reviewed.
