Thanks to everyone who contributed to my summer reading list!  I got more than 40 reccomendations… so as you can imagine, it was tough to choose 10 for my list… which is why I ended up with 12.  I chose these books because I have not read them, they are the type of book I enjoy, there’s some sort of mystical intrigue I have for them and sometimes I chose them based on the recommenders argument alone.  If I selected one of your books – give some mad props to yourself.  Here’s the list in no particular order:

  • Prayer, by Philip Yancey.  Recommended by Jessica
  • Irresistible Revolution, by Shane Claiborne.  Recommended by Melissa and Jessica
  • Systematic Theology, by Wayne Grudem.  Recommended by Robbie
  • Crazy Love, by Francis Chan.  Recommended by Robbie
  • Humility, by CJ Mahaney.  Recommended by Robbie
  • Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury.  Recommended by Juliette
  • Once and Future King, by T.H. White.  Recommended by Claire
  • The Tempest, by William Shakespeare.  Recommended by Claire
  • Outliers, by Malcom Gladwell.  Recommended by Seth
  • The Power and the Glory, by Graham Greene.  Recommended by Dominique
  • The Birth Order, by Kevin Leman.  Recommended by Marse
  • Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand.  Recommended by Cassie

I’m pretty excited for all of these, which is why I chose them.  But I think I’m most excited about Atlas Shrugged, The Tempest, Crazy Love, Humility, and Prayer.  Feel free to read along and tell me what you think!
