I’ve been reading “Emerging worship” for about two years now. i think i’m on chapter 2. That’s pretty good, one chapter a year. I too am reading through Experiental Worship. Musically I’m only listening to rehearsal cd’s for Terra Nova worship. And Dispatch-the best band out there.

shuugs, i’ll definitely have to check out buechner. you’ve yet to steer me wrong in good book reviews. i too like reading beautiful language. speaking of beautiful, have you checked out the “pride & prejudice” website? the background music is breathtaking just like the movie.

One of my favorite authors is Frederick Buechner. I absolutely love his book Son of Laughter. I am currently reading another Buechner book called Telling the Truth:The Gospel as Tragedy, Comedy & Fairy Tale. The language is so beautiful that I find myself reading it aloud…

Scott, this is great! My church here in the city (the Village Church) is contemplating adding a blogroll to our site.

Cheers, and if I'm ever in town on a Sunday night, you can be sure I will be there.

OK, this is my first blog reply. It can be a scary thing for one who remembers owning a Commodore 64.

if you’re looking for good christian book reviews, don’t ask me. i don’t read much christian book lit. okay, wait. yes, i do. i read them when i am reviewing them for magazines… because i get paid to do it! the last one was “real sex” by lauren winner, reviewed for prism magazine (to be published in their jan/feb 06 issue).

sam’s been encouraging me to turn off the tv and pick up a book lately. i started “moby dick” by herman melville a month ago. i have to read it with a dictionary next to me, every other word needs more explanation, so that’s going rather slow.

also re-reading “the bondage breaker” by neil anderson in my quiet times. interesting book to be reading when your pastor is teaching on Luke 8.

just read a GREAT book about heart-oriented disipline vs. making my kids be little christian robots, “don’t make me count to three” by ginger plowman. her influences are ted tripp “shepherding a child’s heart” which is next on the list to read.

Mostly I listen to eqx in the car, elevator music at work, and cackling children @ home. I just finished two books by Paco Underhill about consumerism. They’re called “why we buy” and “the call of the mall”. Now I’m reading Frank Peretti’s latest called “Monster”.
