Sebastian Faulks: Devil May Care (James Bond)
Fun! What I like about it is that it is still set in the 60s during the Cold War, apart from being a cracking good story. Sebastian Faulks is Ian Fleming!
Donald Miller: To Own a Dragon: Reflections on Growing Up Without a Father
From the author of Blue Like Jazz we have some easy on the eyes poignant insights into fatherhood and the fatherless.
Michael Frost: Exiles: Living Missionally in a Post-Christian Culture
Just started to read this book, but finding it useful. The book's premise is that Christians live as exiles in a post-Christian Western world and we need to adapt to that mindset to succeed in mission. Interesting read.
Tom Wright: Surprised by Hope
A book I am thoroughly enjoying and a surprising read in places, especially with his view on a new creation. Fun.
Simon Ponsonby: More
One of my books for Lent which I am currently enjoying reading while travelling on the train to London. Very readable. Very insightful. (****)
John Burke: No Perfect People Allowed: Creating a Come-as-you-are Culture in the Church
This guy was at Willow Creek Church before planting a church in Austin, Texas. It is a thoughtful book with lots of anecdotes, making some very powerful points. His approach is very 'Vineyard' - full of grace and mercy, attacking the prejudicial spirit that can often stop people from walking in and staying.
Rob Bell: Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith

Eddie Gibbs: Emerging Churches: Creating Christian Communities in Postmodern Cultures

Radiohead: In Rainbows
If go to their website you can even upload your own mixes using stems from their songs. Love it. (****)
Original Soundtrack: Midnight Cowboy
A brilliant, yet sad, poignant movie, but with a fantastic score. Loving it.
Matt Redman: Facedown
