Today's reading... And can I just say I am loving Louis Giglio's new book - Goliath Must Fall. It's, as ever, a well centred easy to read book that pulls together Scripture and everyday life in an understandable and engaging way that moves the book just a little past the 'self help' genre that some books seem to fall into whilst professing to be about God... This one, it seems to me, has God and biblical wisdom at its core, with a good hit of dealing with the things that knock us down by making us face up to them and admit we are not David and just our own take on a slingshot and stone hit won't do it for us in taking out our problems - though they can be dealt with. Excellent book that I'm whizzing through and hence why later I'll really start on 'Every Job a Parable' by John Van Sloten which also looks really good from the passing dip into it I've done so far ;) Remember both these titles and more can be found and purchased at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market - please do support Independent Bookshops so we can remain a physical presence in towns and cities :) http://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #book #books #bookshop #christianbookshop #bookstall #religion #reading #theology #spirituality #faith #review #christianbooks #indiebookshop #buylocal #lincoln #lincolnshire

Two very different but very good books recieved in at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market. I can honestly say I am devouring the 400+ pages of Michael Moynaugh's 'Church in Life' from @SCM_Press . It is refreshing, insightful, and affirming for all those who are building or working and worshipping in new ecclesial communities. It covers so much and talks to the heart of the subject of doing church, being church differently. I've been blown away by the chapter on 'Dissatisfaction: the vocational voyage' and entranced by the chapter 'Are they Church', and encouraged by the chapter 'Re-imaging the local church' to name just a few sections. This book is a brilliant and important contribution to understanding the new emerging church journey and place. A must read for so many people and churches I think. Looking forward to reading 'a church for the poor' next because these subjects really are key in this day and age and time. Both books are available from Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market and please do support your local community or high street independent bookshop... We need you to so very much. http://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #religion #reading #theology #vocation #ministry #bookshop #book #books #christianbookshop #christianbooks #spirituality #faith #review #lincoln #indiebookshop #buylocal #reading

Just a little light reading for me... And then a consideration of whether there is a way in which the distinctive diaconate is either/or/and a nearest equivalent role to that of the prophet in the CofE/organised churches... And also a good space for those we hedge under Pioneering/Fresh Expression ministers (of the none priested sort). Yeah this is how my mind works from basic reading to wanting to do a long essay and really really talk and dig and compare and contrast... Not sure if that's what I'm meant to be doing but hey ho ;) http://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #books #book #bookshop #reading #study #theology #discernment
