As of yesterday, it's officially summer.  I laughed when I saw this tweet from @ChrchCurmudgeon:

And since it's summer, I figured I'd post a few books I'm wanting to read and spend time in this summer.  No guarantees, but here's to hope! :)  

​If you've got some extra time over the next couple of months - maybe you're traveling a bit, or your summer schedule allows you more time to read for other reasons, or you just want some book recommendations as you maintain a habit of reading - here are a few books you may want to consider.  I encourage you to explore these books a bit (each is looked to their Amazon page where you can learn more) and jump in - the water's fine!

Bible & Theology

Picture
The Enduring Authority of the Christian Scriptures, ed by D.A. Carson.  (You can find out a bit more about this book here.)

Discipleship

Picture
You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit, by James K.A. Smith

Ministry

Picture
Preaching: Communicating Faith in an Age of Skepticism, by Timothy Keller

Culture

Picture
How (Not) to be Secular: Reading Charles Taylor, by James K.A. Smith

Leadership

Picture
Lasting Impact: 7 Powerful Conversations that Will Help Your Church Grow, by Carey Nieuwhof

History

Picture
The Patient Ferment of the Early Church: The Improbable Rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire, by Alan Kreider

You know the drill: As you read, do so discerningly!  Read actively - underlining things that stand out to, jotting down questions as they come up, etc.  And always remember that the Bible is our final authority, so be sure to read that first and most, and allow Scripture to be the final truth that everything else must be held up to.

I want to hear from you too. What other books (in any of these categories listed above, or others) would you suggest people consider?  List 'em here!
