Oh snap! Jason Pogue tagged me for this book club thing which I first saw on Marko’s blog and now it has reached me… nice!
1. One book that changed your life: The Sacred Romance Drawing Closer to the Heart of God by Brent Curtis and John Eldredge
2. One book that you’ve read more than once: Purpose Driven Youth Ministry by… ah you already know.
3. One book you’d want on a desert island: SAS Survival Handbook: How to Survive in the Wild, in Any Climate, on Land or at Sea by John ‘Lofty’ Wiseman (yeah, I looked it up…)
4. One book that made you laugh: My High School Year Book - ugly all over the place…
5. One book that made you cry: Honestly, that has never happened.
6. One book you wish had been written: Learning to Fail Well as a Young Leader in Ministry
7. One book you wish had never been written: The Chicken Soup for the (any person in any place doing anything weirdly specific)’s Soul. The first one was okay, but now it is getting ridiculous. Case and point, Click Here.
8. One book you’re currently reading: Death by Meeting by Patrick Lencioni. This guy is a leadership genius, both of his books I have read front to back and have taken away loads of practical stuff!
9. One book you’ve been meaning to read: The Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis. I have read the first several pages many times, but it isn’t a normal book. There is almost to much good stuff to really “read” it. I would have to use it as a devotional.
10. One book you’d like to write: Dodging Spears, Lessons for the Young Leader in Ministry (the title is mine, leave it alone!)
I now tag Josh Elek, Scott Rust, and my beautiful wife Mandy Steward.
