Goodies arrived today…

March 15, 2007 by Chad Herring 3 Comments

Amazon brought me some goodies today, including Rob Bell‘s newest book, Sex God: Exploring the Endless Connections between Sexuality and Spirituality. Since starting this blog almost a year ago, nothing has generated more links traffic here (besides my participation on the PCUSA Blog and BlogRing) than my posts on Bell’s Nooma series. I’m excited to read Sex God, having just finished Bell’s very good Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith.

Also part of this Amazon shipment: Mark Labberton’s The Dangerous Act of Worship: Living God’s Call to Justice (IVP), Listening to the Beliefs of Emerging Churches: Five Perspectives (ed. Robert Webber, with contributions by Karen Ward, Doug Pagitt, Dan Kimball, John Burke, and Mark Driscoll) (Zondervan), Michael Frost and Alan Hirsch’s The Shaping of Things to Come: Innovation and Mission for the 21st Century Church (Harper), Brian Walsh and Sylvia Keesmaat’s Colossians Remixed: Subverting the Empire (IVP) and another Sacra Pagina commentary, this one Frank Matera’s Galatians.

Lots of good stuff to read soon…

    Nice! I love Amazon, but have taken or some reason to ordering through one of my local but lame christian bookstores.

    I Got Rob Bell’s book along with Listening to the Beliefs of the Emergent Church last week, though I haven’t cracked them open yet. I’m really interested in reading Karen Ward’s section in that book.

    The book I really wanted, An Emergent Manifesto of Hope, isn’t yet available through my bookstore for some reason. Adam Walker Cleaveland has a contribution to it.

    I like the Sacra Pagina commentaries and should probably consider starting to collect those (my wife’s church has the gospels and some other NT books in their library but I don’t always remember they are there.)

    I’ll be interested to hear your comments on the Ephesians book, I see a lot of bloggers have read it but I still don’t know if I should get and read it.

    Maybe you can get Adam to send you a copy early????! 🙂

    I’ll let you know about the Ephesians book when I get through it, but to be honest its not at the top of my too-large-pile-o-books-to-devour. Might be a while.

    I plan to focus on getting a few good commentary series, but beyond that focusing on authors of the commentary beyond the series it is in. I’ve often found that many commentaries have good individual volumes and others not-so-good. Sometimes you have to pay attention to that…

    I’ve read parts of “The Shaping of Things To Come,” but I’ve also listened to a series of messages Frost gave in Australia that contains most of the book’s content.

    You can find them here:http://www.resonate.ca/audio/index.htm
