An email conversation with our preaching minister led to him recommending and loaning me a few different books to read. I left one at home that I am almost finished with but the name of which I don't remember (I know, I know. Helpful, aren't I). However, the two books that I have have read on this particular mountian trip have been tremoundous. The first is not new book and was actually a New York Times Bestseller. Blue Like Jazz is best described as a post modern geared book about Christianity from a non religious perspective. His journey is curious and yet, I suspect not much different from many, many people inside and outside of todays churches. I am really glad I am reading it.
The second book is very new and truly amazing. The Shack, written by William P. Young is gripping, imagniative and dramatic. I will say it stretches the normal view of God to depths many may find uncomfortable. It has the potential to be a catalyst for change in the heart of those who read it. Check it out when you get the chance.
Let me know what you think of either book.
