Getting away

Being away with Lizzy is great. We are in st ives with friends just chilling out and eating far too much. It has great to get away, too take stock of whats going on at church, read and get lots of fresh air. Cant wait too get back and see what God has in store for us in the coming months. Matt

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
