What I Have Read This Year
Nancy Pearcey: Saving Leonardo: A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on Mind, Morals, and Meaning
Bryan M. Litfin: The Sword: A Novel (Chiveis Trilogy)
A great fiction book. Full disclosure: the author is a good friend. With that said, it is still a great read. A post apocalyptic people discover anew the "God of the Cross" and the book about him. Reads like a Louis Lamour book in a new setting with a more complex storyline. I look forward to the next installment of the trilogy.R. Albert Mohler Jr.: Feed My Sheep: A Passionate Plea for Preaching
Really good read. The various authors offer a variety of ideas and perspectives. I enjoyed most of the chapters. Perhaps my favorites were Mohler's, Beeke's, and Kistler's. One of the better compilations to come out in recent years that do not just repeat the same thing. (****)Bill Conaty: The Talent Masters: Why Smart Leaders Put People Before Numbers
A good read to remind us of the importance of the individual to the success of the organization and some solid examples of creating leadership and personal development systems.
Wayne, I wonder if I'm one of those you think might be interested. I am. Count me in.

Sam, I read NT Wrights book last summer/fall and Piper's book Justification. The theme of the Evangelical Theological Society National Conference this fall is on Justification and they are the keynote speakers. They are also supposed to have a question/answer time together. I am looking forward to it. I am not sure however if Piper's ministry leave will impact his involvement. It might be interesting to get a group together to discuss. I know a couple of people who may be interested. I have a couple of theological things I am chasing right now and some travel coming up but maybe starting in May. What do you think?

Wayne, I have you read N.T. Wright book on Justification? talk about "pro-vo-ka-tion" Are you up to date on the debate between Piper and the a fore mention? I am half way through Wright book and I have lots of question. I wish I was in a book club with other men or women to discuss this book and the implications this subject has on the daily Christian experience. Let me know if you want to hash this topic out sometime, Sam
