JON TYSON SUGGESTS
Jon Tyson is a church planter and friend of mine. I'll link to him as soon as he gets his web presence going well and I'll fill you in, maybe via an "interview" on the exciting and innovative work he's doing in Manhattan someday as well. For now, here are four books this thinker and inspirer recommended I read (With his comments on each). Thought some of you might be interested as well:
1. The Shaping of Things to Come: Innovation and Mission for the 21 Century Church (Paperback)
by Michael Frost, Alan Hirsch
This book is a paradigm shifter. Its all your sneaking suspicions written down.
2. Organic Church: Growing Faith Where Life Happens (Hardcover)
by Neil Cole, Leonard I. Sweet
This book is refreshing. I actually disagree with his view of church.. housechurch... but think he identified major problems i have had and inspired me to see the kingdom grow organically.
3. The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference (Paperback)
by Malcolm Gladwell
This is one of the most interesting things i have ever read on how trends spread through culture. I actually did a talk on this from a christian standpoint...
4. Urban Tribes: A Generation Redefines Friendship, Family, and Commitment (Hardcover)
by Ethan Watters
This was an eyeopener on secular smallgroups... and how most of our generation is, [things I] have never thought about.
