List looks good. I was going to mention this before, I read "A New Kind of Christianity" probably as a Sophomore in college. I've thought about going back and reading it again cause I'm sure I'd be able to think through it better now, but at the time something didn't sit right with me about the book. I agreed with some of it but I think it was almost as if he was making excuses for things rather than looking for God's best. But, I probably should read it again before I pass judgment on it cause I think I could work through the book better now than before...
Thanks for the book posts! Enjoyed them!
you probably read "A New Kind of Christian" back in college. he wrote it in 2001. it's a great book & you should definitely go back and read it again now. i think you would see a lot more of what he was warning us about. great read...probably in my all time top 10 or 20.
*This book i was talking about is a new book that he just wrote in February. the title is actually "A New Kind of Christianity". not nearly as good and i'm sure way more controversial.
i would advise you go back and read the other one 1st. i'd love to have a discussion with you about it when you finish. so hit me up :)
happy new year!
