January 2, 2012 in Reading with 4 Comments

In 2011 I read through 38 books. Apart from the Bible, my favorite book was Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. My least favorite was Bizarre Books by Russell Ash and Brian Lake.

#1: Love Wins – Rob Bell

I wrote that tweet a few days ago after the excitement had already been building. Since I first posted about the promo video for this book and watched 55 comments erupt afterward I’ve been eagerly anticipating reading through it for myself. I’m referring to the now infamous book “Love Wins” by Rob Bell.

#4: My Response to the Rob Bell “Conspiracy”

I’ll give you a heads up in advance. This post is longer than normal so if you are skimming for a soundbite you may want to stop here. If you’re still interested, pull up a chair and engage your mind for a few moments.

You may or may not be aware of the American Church Politics that go on from time to time. It’s mostly petty and always damaging. One group or another is quick to tell all of their people why they should boycott some other influential Christian or ministry.

Lewis that we have today. As is true with just about anybody that I listen to, this does not mean I agree with everything he says. I’m currently reading through his book entitled King’s Cross and he addressed faith in a way that seems to be very common these days…

Bible Reading Plan for 2012

December 20, 2011 in Bible, Reading with 2 Comments

In 2011 I read through the Chronological Bible reading plan. It is structured by when they think all the events happened and not in the order they appear. This allowed me to get a new sense for how the narrative flows together and proved to be incredibly insightful for me.

This will allow me to get a sense for the development of mankind’s understanding of God and His increased revelation of Himself to us.
