May I Recommend from 2011

One of the best benefits of being home schooled was that my mother let me read all the time growing up. My curriculum for a year or two consisted of my parents dropping me off at the Benton Library and leaving me there all day. It was kind of a dream education. It almost outweighed the whole being terrified of girls and social situations. All that to say I like reading a lot. And I thought I'd share with you some of the best books I read from 2011:

You’ve Got to Fight For Your Right…

God has given us much to celebrate. And yes there is time to dance and a time to mourn, but each season has it's rightful place, but what we've seem to have done is a lukewarm mixture of both. The spirit of Despair is so easy to give into. Cynicism is the currency that we deal in, and Christians are no different. So I would like to suggest that churches pay attention to this more as a spiritual discipline. Because the Kingdom of God has come and is coming.

Separation for Church and State

I don't know if you've noticed but lately it seems like the amount of scandals among politicians and public leaders have gone up exponentially. We tweet dirty pictures, or have sex with pages, or leave our wives for women in Southern America, or yell "You lie" at the President. It's getting ugly out there. We don't just need a particular kind of ideology in politics. We need a particular kind of person.

Open Theologies (or My Apologies to Harry Potter)

Rowling's books have outsold anything in printed history that wasn't written by God. And it's just getting bigger and bigger. Because people in their bones are hungry for a good story. In the words of Stephen King, "Harry Potter is all about confronting fears, finding inner strength, and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend."

Mere Mortals

In a world of self-esteem and health and wealth gospels, it's good to remember what makes us important is the One who made us. In the words of the Psalmist, we are Mere Mortals.
