Pick My Book

I need your help picking out my next book. I just finished Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover, and I’ll be wrapping up the other two books I’m currently reading very soon. So assuming I get more than 2 votes, I’m going to take your advice on the next book I read.

Here’s the list I’m looking to choose from.

» Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr. – Martin Luther King Jr.

» A Long Way Gone – Ishmael Beah

» Quiet Strength – Tony Dungy

» Purple Cow – Seth Godin

» The Innocent Man – John Grisham

» Left to Tell – Immaculé Ilibagiza

» Mere Christianity – C.S. Lewis

Vote away, and feel free to suggest something else as well.

Parting Thoughts

The name NOOMA is an English phonetic spelling of the Greek word pneuma, which is commonly translated to “spirit” or “breath.” Pneumatology refers to the study of spiritual beings, particularly the interactions between humans and God.

I’m getting ready to take off up north for some fartin’ and fellowship with the boys. When I get back on Monday we’ll jump right into the Nooma mini-series. In case you’re wondering, “who in the world is Rob Bell, what is a Nooma, and why do I care?” — stick around and enjoy what he’s got to say. Rob Bell is even getting a little press as a modern day Billy Graham. If you are ever interested in checking out one of the videos, NewSong owns all of them. They are all around 12 minutes long and are great for small group discussion starters.

While I’m gone I have no doubt that the blogging community will continue to thrive. With that said, I’d like to leave a little project for you all. With the DEP and his newfound appreciation for cuddling, I thought it would be nice to start piling on all the good information we’ve got stored up that he can now use. I’ll get us started. DEP, here’s a useful tip when buying clothing for your woman: Buy petite and save the receipt.
