What Am I Reading...

I know that you must be just waiting with baited breath, wondering what wonderful things I am reading and ready to share with you! NOT!

These Are The Books On My Nightstand:

This is by Craig Groeschel and it is about getting a "vision" for your church. It has some really good information, and I am thoroughly enjoying the writing style. He has profiles throughout of church leaders today and their views on vision and building the church. Mark Driscoll, one of the pastors I listen to, has a piece in the book on what worked at Mars Hill, and I think he hit the nail on the head...Love Jesus, Teach Jesus, Share Jesus...It is all about Jesus!

With all of this said, I struggle with concept of planning to build and/or grow church as opposed to God building/growing the church. Some would say they go hand-in-hand and that there must be organization and structure. Is that what God wants us to do? I suppose I am a little naive, but I tend to think that if you pray and stop to listen, then He will tell you which way to go. I think that is the IT that the author is talking about.

More later when I finish the book.


I have read Wild At Heart and thought it was an enjoyable read, but I am enjoying WWG much, much more. It is more applicable to me where I am.









This is a reread for me. I have read all of the pros and cons about this book, and I have no desire to debate them. I like this book. It was an interesting read, and in some respects I found it nourishing for my soul.










I will finish this book! Yes, I occasionally blow the dust off of the cover and again try to complete what was started almost a year ago courtesy of The Well Educated Mindand KayLynn:)
