Jim, I’ve read Revolution. Liked it at the time. Nothing major revealed – more of a big sigh that said, “Yep, that’s what’s going on.” (and Barna makes money off it!) Gotta read Organic Church…

Mark, I’ve got a copy. Will put it in my vehicle, so next time you see me, ask me about it!

Jeff – Thanks for the link. Speaking of “Christian” books, I am now reading a doozy – The Conservative Mind, by Russell Kirk. The thing is, this book is not a “Christian” publication, it is a classic, influential book in general, but is “Christian” from a moral standpoint. In my opinion, more books like this should be written and published in the general (read “secular”) marketplace. A separate “Christian” publishing industry often serves only to insulate and dissociate Christian discourse from scoiety at large – and then we wonder why the secular world is so morally impoverished.

BTW – I have wanted to peruse the recent book “Blue Like Jazz.” Does anyone have a handy copy I could borrow? I promise to give it back in a reasonable amount of time. Thanks. :)
