Books worth reading

  • Overflow Conference--Atlanta 2008

    This list is a bibliography of books referenced in my presentations at the National Conference on Youth Ministries in Atlanta, GA, January 2-5, 2008.  Themes include: gospel of Matthew, baptism, ancient/future church, spiritual disciplines, and ethics.

  • Books/Sources on Israel

  • Spiritual Formation

    Resources to nurture vitality in Christian living

  • Congregational LIfe

  • Interpretation of Scripture

    Varied resources to aid in the task of interpreting Scripture, including the exploration of the historical and literary worlds that shaped Scripture's formation. Really this expanding list could be divided into two lists--the authority and inspiration of Scripture and then the practice of interpretation. Maybe someday I'll revise it.

  • Biblical Studies

  • Prayer

    This working biography is being prepared for an upcoming class at Northlake called The Practice of Prayer.

  • History and Theology

  • History of the English Bible

    I'm adding this category to serve as a resource to the folks in Oak Ridge, TN and elsewhere who are interested in learning more about the Bible they hold in their hands (or, perhaps today, view on their screens).

  • Fiction

    Reading that captures the imagination--mostly!
