Picking Cotton by Jennifer Thompson-Cannino and Ronald Cotton with Erin Torneo. The story of a woman who identified the wrong man who raped her, his subsequent release after serving over a decade in prison (DNA evidence exonerated him) his forgiveness of her and their new role as friends and advocates for new methods to identify suspects in crime cases.
They like Jesus but not the church by Dan Kimball. I first saw Dan Kimball about five years ago speaking about this new “emerging” wave of churches and culture. Ummm, read this book or forever have your head in the sand (or elsewhere) about how our society is changing and how we need to understand that it’s not the same old, same old.
Searching for God knows what by Don Miller. This is the third or fourth time I’ve read this book. Go right now to a bookstore or to amazon and buy it. Read it. In six months, read it again. Repeat every year or so. In fact, just read everything Don Miller has every written (Blue Like Jazz and Through Painted Deserts are my faves) including watching his videos on “Let Story Guide You” and “Why You Matter As An Artist”. Just do it and shut up and read. Let me know what you think.
The Survivors Club by Brian Sherwood. Real stories of folks who’ve survived unsurmountable circumstances. When you buy the book you get a code to take a fifteen minute online test to learn what kind of surviver you are and what are the three dominant and least dominant traits that you possess to survive.
I’m working though a couple more right now. I tend to read multiple books at a time on occasion and this is one of those occasions. Otherwise, I tend to read one book at a time in just a few sittings. I don't read anywhere near as much as I want to and having a few days off recently has helped me dive back in. Well, that and I can function better now thanks to drugs :)
