		<description>I saw your recent post for book recommendations. I guess it&#039;s pretty typical for women to read books on relationships and child rearing. As I scanned my shelves for ideas that may &quot;broaden your horizons&quot; I realized that most of my reading material surrounded these two subjects. My Pastor Larry once said to me, &quot;Being a spouse and being a parent are the two most important jobs any one could ever have. Sadly people will spend thousands to learn a vocation or a career and expect the knowledge needed for life&#039;s most important jobs to simply be bestowed upon them.&quot; Smiling remembering his sage wisdom may I suggest &quot;Raising Kids Who Hunger For God&quot; by Benny and Sheree Phillips and &quot;The Five Love Languages&quot; by Gary Chapman (There&#039;s even an edition of this one especially geared for men).
Big Hug,

		<description>Hey there,
I know I&#039;ve not been at the CFM Boards but I&#039;m too busy to put much there.  But I&#039;m glad that I found the link to your blog.

I recommend reading &quot;Everything Must Change&quot; by Brain D. McLaren

It will open your eyes, and perhaps piss you off.  

I&#039;m reading a novel called &quot;Our American King&quot; by David Lozell Martin,which is interesting also. It takes place in a future USA where a calamity had happend, it not said what that is, but the Government has fallen and now there is a guy who is pushing a carimatic person to be King of America.</description>

		<description>Now you have asked for it.

Os Guiness, Prophetic Untimeliness; a challenge to the idol of relevance  : Long Journey Home

W. Phillip Keller,  A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23:  Lessons from a Sheep Dog

C.S. Lewis:  Absolutely anything that he has written, but-- Science fiction trilogy- Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength

Dietrich Bonhoeffer- The Cost of Discipleship and just about anything else that he wrote.

Phillip Yancy- Soul Survivor, how thirteen unlikely mentors helped my faith survive the church
CLASSICS
Wallace, ?- Ben-Hur, a tale of the Christ

Lloyd C. Douglas- The Robe

Antoine De Saint-Exupery-  The Little Prince (don&#039;t sell this one short.  Appears to be just a children&#039;s story- NOT

Edward Everett Hale, The Man Without a Country- Absolutely, unequivacally, one of my favorites. I will take the liberty of posting from the back cover-  &quot;First Published in the Atlantic Monthly in 1863 and written to inspire patriotism and to combat Northern Sympathy with the Confederacy during the Civil War, this classic story met with immediate praise and acceptance.  It concerns the fate of Philip Nolan, a young army officer who was caught up in the eddies of the Aaron Burr affair of 1807, and the granting of his &quot;wish&quot; to never hear the name of the United States again.&quot;</description>
