There have not been many books other than the Bible which have changed me in any significant ways. I can only think of two. I have read both of these books this semester and both of these books are highly discouraged by every Pastor and leader I know. They call them dangerous. This worries me. It worries me because I agree almost completely with almost everything these books say. Does this mean I'm dangerous?
I would recommend everyone read these books. They blow my mind. The first is Blue Like Jazz
by Donald Miller. And the second, and much more controversial, is Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell.
Nex I'm going to read Searching for God Knows What which is also by Donald Miller. These books probably aren't for everyone, but they pretty much blew my mind.
Oh, and something you may find interesting. Last Thursday I walked into a funeral service. I didn't know what to do. Don't ask how, but I walked in and sat down before I knew what it was. By that time it was too late to back pedal so I sat through and acted sad. I even sniffed some. But you had better believe that I took off before anyone could talk to me...
