Leonard Sweet Ph.D: So Beautiful: Divine Design for Life and the Church
It's been a long time since I've read anything by Leonard Sweet. I'll write a review on this newest by him.
David Bayles: Art & Fear: Observations On the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking
I'm reading this for a little diversity. I see preaching and teaching more as an art form so I am exploring some different resources in this discipline.
Neil Postman: Teaching As a Subversive Activity
This is a an older book from the late sixties but still prophetic when it comes to how we teach in a way that develops learners. I started reading this several years ago and I'm coming back to it now.
Alfred McCoy: A Question of Torture: CIA Interrogation, from the Cold War to the War on Terror (American Empire Project)
I finished this about a week ago. With torture being a popular question right now, I have been researching the topic. Obviously not a feel good read or subject, but this is a disciplined account of the past 50 years of the US's policy struggle on counterintelligence.

Dave Ramsey: The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness
This is a great optimistic book on finances. If you have debt and don't know if you will ever get out from under it. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease get this book. You will be encouraged by people who are guarenteed to be in worse or similar circumstances than you and succeeded. Both Sarah and I were encouraged and challenged by this book. We are due for a reread.
Juliet B. Schor: The Overspent American: Why We Want What We Don't Need
Fabulous book on consumerism and why it ruins us. The consumer life is simply not the best way to live.
Juliet B. Schor: Born to Buy: The Commercialized Child and the New Consumer Culture
As a parent this is such a revealing and disturbing book, on how kids are targeted and formed as consumers. Friends we need a community that lives life differently and is formed by a different set of values.
Randy Alcorn: The Treasure Principle: Unlocking the Secret of Joyful Giving (LifeChange Books)
This is a wonderful little book. I have had a lot of great take aways from this book. The one that sticks with me the most is having give away goals. Like in the next 20 years I want to have given away 1million dollars...something sweet like that.
