Jesus Creed

Books to Come...

Friday November 27, 2009

In the month of December we will examine several new books, including three books across the spectrum of thinking and interest:

The Reformed theologian's critical examination of the evangelical church, Michael Horton's book, Gospel-Driven Life, The: Being Good News People in a Bad News World

Notre Dame professor Gary Anderson, Sin: A History , a book surely to make a statement about how we define and understand sin.

Adam McHugh, a Presbyterian minister and spiritual director, focuses our attention on a subject rarely discussed: Introverts in the Church: Finding Our Place in an Extroverted Culture .

We have discovered that those who read these books along with us turn the posts from "reports" to "conversation" and "dialogue" and sometimes "debate." So, if you can, get these books and read along.

I think the far more important issue is Intuitives in the Church: Finding our Place in a Sensor Culture. In my experience that represents THE major faultline between the established and emerging churches.

As an introverted pastor I look forward to what McHugh has to say.
