Yesterday I realized that I have read 12 books this summer. I have a few weeks left to squeeze in a couple more. I’m currently on What Is the Bible? by Rob Bell. Here is a look at what I’ve read so far:

• Like a Rolling Stone: Bob Dylan at the Crossroads by Greil Marcus
  • I started this *before* I knew Bob was coming to Sugar Land in October.
• In the Name of Jesus: Reflections on Christian Leadership by Henri J.M. Nouwen
  • For Fall seminary class. The second time I’ve read it.
• #NeverAgain: A New Generation Draws the Line by David and Lauren Hogg
  • These kids have some wisdom to share.
• Is Nothing Sacred? by Marie M. Fortune
  • Also for Fall seminary class. This story has interesting parallels to the story coming out of Willow Creek.
• Mentoring for Ministry by Craig T. Kocher (ed.)
• Reading the Bible Again for the First Time: Taking the Bible Seriously but Not Literally by Marcus J. Borg
• Triune Atonement: Christ’s Healing for Sinners, Victims, and the Whole Creation by Andrew Sung Park
  • This was a book I read for a paper on atonement theories last semester.
• Unbelievable: Why Neither Ancient Creeds Nor the Reformation Can Produce a Living Faith Today by John Shelby Spong
• Hey Mom: Stories for My Mother, But You Can Read Them Too by Louie Anderson
  • If you haven’t seen “Baskets” on FX you need to.
• A Black Theology of Liberation by James H. Cone
  • I bought this book like a week before Dr. Cone passed.
• Waco: A Survivor’s Story by David Thibodeau, Leon Whiteson
• The Four Gospels on Sunday: The New Testament and the Reform of Christian Worship by Gordon W. Lathrop
