I have a collection of books stacked up in a holding pattern, like planes vectoring to land, that I will be reading in 2006. I will invariably purchase additional books (pretty much anything Steve and Brady recommend) and they will be added to the queue as urgency demands.
Here are the books patiently waiting to be read:
Blue Like Jazz, by Donald Miller
Epic, by John Eldredge
Jesus, Hero of Thy Soul, by Jim McGuiggan
In Search of Wonder, edited by Lynn Anderson
In The Ruins of The Church, by R.R. Reno
Life of the Beloved, by Henri Nouwen
Preaching To A Shifting Culture, edited by Scott M. Gibson
Reaching Out, by Henri Nouwen
Soultalk, by Larry Crabb
Spiritual Leadership, by C.H. Spurgeon
Spiritual Leadership, by J. Oswald Sanders
The Journey of Desire, by John Eldredge
The Book on Leadership, by John MacArthur
The God of The Towel, by Jim McGuiggan
The Vanguard Leader, by Frank Damazio
The Only Necessary Thing, by Henri Nouwen
The Divine Conspiracy, by Dallas Willard
Think Like Jesus, George Barna
Waking The Dead, by John Eldredge
Wild At Heart, by John Eldredge
Books I intend to write this year:
To Kill A Mouseingbird (A powerful story of remice and remouseal)
Three Dead Mice (The Dramaticus Sequel to the best selling work To Kill A Mouseingbird)
If You Give A Mouse A Muffin (The Strategery Behind Three Dead Mice)
Thanks for the list. Looks challenging.
How about this for a title:
“Don’t “Mouse” Around With The Rev.”
To be made into a movie entitled “The Verminator.”

Well, if you’re not going to consider any of the books I might recommend, then I’ll not bother to publish my list! So there!
I’m sorry Greg, I wasn’t sure you could read anything without chord diagrams and guitar pictures.
By the way, we almost had some good ol’ boy Alabama comfort food on Saturday when a squirrel fell down the chimney into the fire place. For some strange reason, with the the odor of singed squirrel hair fresh on my nostrils I thought of you.
It reminded me of that Greek restaurant where we ate the bcvuith.
I usually don’t read anything without chord diagrams and guitar pictures, but I thought you’d surely want to know the best of those kinds of books!
For the record, I’ve never eaten a squirrel but my father in law would have been all over that!
In my best Chevy Chase voice from the movie Christmas Vacation:
“Squirrel!!!!”
Hi RDW! I took two boxes of books to Goodwill Saturday, I finally got honest with myself. Now I will take your list directly to Borders and begin a new fantasy of unfinished reading. Loved your comments about the Air & Space Museum…we had a student from Japan live with us last year and when he took a trip back east he visited the Museum…about the Enola Gay, he said, “It terrified me to look at it.” TR and I are going to see Lion, Witch & wardrobe this evening. I was glad to hear the genuine themes from the book came through in the movie.
Chat later,

Hello Randy: That is a good list. I’d like to know what you think of Reno’s book.
I don’t know anything about Frank Damazio. Have you read anything else by him?
Although I have found some of John MacArthur’s writings to be sybeblig (translation: uber-Calvinist), I think the list looks great. Especially the “to be written” part.
Any advice on how to convince my wife that when I’m reading I’m not (necessarily) just loafing around?
Happy 2006!
