    1) What book did you just finish? I don't remember if it was "In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day" by Mark Batterson or "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan.
    2) What book are you currently reading? I am close to finishing up "Wild Goose Chase" by Mark Batterson. (Seeing a trend?)
    3) What book are you excited to read? I started reading "Dangerous Wonder" by Mike Yaconelli
  • Dave Sandell · 9 months ago
    Yaconelli is so good. He's the soul food of Christian literature. Read "Messy Spirituality" as soon as you can after "Dangerous Wonder"
  • ECC · 9 months ago
    Yep. I read "Messy Spirituality" a few years ago but never read "Dangerous Wonder." It's too bad his life was cut short. He's a very gifted man...

    Justin - is "Younger Evangelicals" a must-read, or simply a good read?
  • Justin Wise · 9 months ago
    What did you like best about "Choosing to Cheat"?
  • Justin Wise · 9 months ago
    I hear Phyllis' name all the time... What's she about?
  • J. LeMaster-Smith · 9 months ago
    She is very emergent Christianity, but at the same time knows her history. She came into Christian writing from the critic/publisher side, and researched how Christianity is shaped by culture and how culture is shaped by Christianity, and how the world now is in the midst of a paradigm shift of emergent Christianity.
  • Justin Wise · 9 months ago
    Skye's name bounces around all the time... What's that book about? I hear good things....
  • Adam · 9 months ago
    From what I've heard, it's really a good challenge on knowing the basics beyond what you see and physically get at church.

    Hear it from the man, himself.
