A question of context: A time to run!

A time to run!

Well, I've done it. I have entered the ballot for the London Marathon for 2009.
I have always wanted to do it but never got round to it (probably never plucked up the courage to do it) but hopefully next year I will.
I have even planned some running routes and downloaded a training schedule. But I need to now find the motivation to go out running to prepare for the 26 miles ahead. It won't just happen, I need to put some effort in to finish - alive.

I update my blog with my progress.

Books

A new kind of Christian by Brian Mclaren - this book did my head in, in a good way.
Blood and Fire by Roy Hattersley - Hard going but well worth a read.
Fearfully and wonderfully made by Phillip Yancey and Dr Brand - this is a really good book. Helpful insight into the connections between our physical bodies and the body of Christ, the church.
Intelligant Church by Steve Chalke - A really great read and has challenged a lot of my thoughts about the place of the church in community.
Life on the Edge by Richard Hammond - really interesting book and and easy read.
Prayer by Phillip Yancey - A deep insight into prayer but it was hard work.
Seven Ways to Change the World by Jim Wallis - If you care about the world and how to go about making a difference in it then you need to read this. It is written with from an American Political perspective but it is brilliant.
The Secret Message of Jesus by Brian Mclaren - Brilliant, will challenge all you pre-concieved ideas about the gospel.
Total Church by Steve Timmis and Tim Chester - I got a lot out of this book but found some of it a little idealistic.
Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell - Awesome
