New books

On the road today with son Will. After a meeting in Dallas we made our way to Abilene. Highlight of the evening was dinner at Joe Allen's (barbeque) with Vickie's niece Rachel and her new husband Daniel.

I haven't had a chance yet to crack them open but now setting on my desk in the study are couple of titles that I'm looking forward to reading. Eugene Peterson has launched an ambitious five volume series of spirituality with Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places. And, hot off the press is Marva Dawn's Talking the Walk. Talking the Walk is a call to reclaim the language of the Christian faith.

Another new title on the desk is Wayne Meeks, Christ is the Question. This title is Meeks attempt to engage the "quest for the historical Jesus" and to reframe the question.

Any thoughts?

Books are overrated....Have any of these been made into movies?
