My blogging friend Rich has tagged me for a little reading list thingy. Let me first preface this with a comment...I am NOT a great reader. I wonder sometimes if I have ADD. I have several books that I've started and have put back on the shelf. So...here goes...
- One book that changed your life: Matt Redman's Unquenchable Worshipper. (This book reached into my gut and inspired me to become a better worshipper of God first...then a leader of others in worship through music. I was going through a valley in my life a couple of years ago and this book encouraged me through that time of job loss and unclear future.)
- One book that you've read more than once: Louie Giglio's The Air I Breathe (You'll notice a theme here with my reading list. They are typically about worship and they are really short/easy to read. This one is an awesome explanation of worship. Louie is gifted at defining worship. I pull this one off the shelf at least once a year. Also our worship team went through this together in 2004...I think this was the beginning of a new era in our worship ministry. It really brought us to another level.)
- One book that you'd want on a desert island: I'll avoid the basic Christiany answer of the Bible (wait, did I just actually say the christiany answer by saying I'm not going to say the christiany answer?) I would love to take the Star Wars Clone Wars Comic series with me. (What good is a leadership book or anything like that if you're all alone on an island? Give me mindless entertainment with cool pictures please!)
- One book that made you laugh: Rob Bell's Velvet Elvis (Just had some great points that made me laugh at myself and the traditions of men.)
- One book that made you cry: Matt Redman's Unquenchable Worshipper
- One book that you wish had been written: How to be a father of three girls from 0 to 18.
- One book you wish had never been written: hmmmm...
- One book you are currently reading: Steve Stockman's Walk On: The Spiritual Journey of U2 (I picked this up at the Willow Creek Leadership Summit a couple weeks ago. I've always been intrigued by the rumors of Bono's faith and a couple of the other band members. As a matter of fact I was one who doubted. This book has been interesting as it walks through the history of U2's recordings and their spiritual journey and struggles with organized religion. If you're a fan of U2, you should pick this up.)
- One book you've been meaning to read: The Heart of the Artist by Rory Noland
MMMMMkay...so you know the tagging drill...here are my 5 tags to post the same info from their libraries:
