It seems that people are looking for a few good books for the Summer. I have fielded several requests for what to read lately, and I have been recommending a few books over and over. So, here they are.
For great fiction: Life of Pi by Yann Martel or The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
For theology/Christian living: Crazy Love by Francis Chan or Jesus Wants to Save Christians by Rob Bell
For faith-centered techies: Flickering Pixels by Shane Hipps
No book outside of the Bible has affected my view on living the gospel as much as Crazy Love, and no one has challenged me to wrestle with Scripture and pursue the art of the sermon like Rob Bell.
No book has made me want to cry like a baby so many times as The Book Thief, and no one has dealt with deep issues of life in the fiction format as creatively as Yann Martel.
I haven’t finished reading Flickering Pixels, but it is doing a work on me right now, challenging and informing me in the area of technology and how it shapes our faith.
So, if you don’t have a list of books to read this summer, give these guys a read. Let me know what you thought if you have already read any or end up reading one or multiple. I would love to hear how about your experience.
