A must see clip from King of the Hill on the megachurch trend. Very funny and poignant. How do the writers of the show perceive these churches?

I loved this. Provocative in our thinking about peoples first impressions of our churches. What do they see and perceive from a single Sunday morning visit? Should that impact how we represent the Gospel in an hour once a week? (****)John Eldredge: Walking with God: Talk to Him. Hear from Him. Really.

(*****)Rob Bell: Velvet Elvis
Great book. I would love to see more from Rob. Very insighful and fresh from and innovative and young master teacher. Highly recommended. (*****)Donald Miller: Blue Like Jazz
I want to buy a case of these and give them to friends. Donald has a way of articulating the way many of us have felt in the church. A very rich, funny, and poignant read. (*****)C.S. Lewis: Mere Christianity
Life changing for me. I started reading Lewis in college and have been extraordinarily impacted by him. He has been something of a spiritual Father for me. My first glimpse at intelligent and articulate Christianity. (*****)Erwin McManus: The Barbarian Way
I always enjoy Erwin's perspective. A great read on unleashing your faith!

Although I don't alway agree with Brian as he is so deliberately provocative. This book did some necessary re-wiring for me. (****)

I think the writers percieve "these churches" clearly...and so do most people. Sad...but I think it is true. We are pretty far away from Acts 2.
