Reviews and Articles
Sacred Rhythms -
by Ruth Haley-Burton
|
This is a
book about spiritual disciplines that is written
from the heart. It isn't so much a book
with lots of information about disciplines,
although it has some of course - rather it is
written to draw us into a way of life, to find
practices that help |
us on our
journey of being more like Jesus.
Quite
simply I found this a wonderful book: one that
makes you want to do the disciplines rather than
leaving you feeling you 'ought' to do them. |

The New Christians - by Tony Jones
|
If you are
trying to understand the 'Emerging' church and
all things emergent then this will be a really
helpful book. I was quire fascinated by
some of the history around the development of
the emergent conversation. |
This is an
insider's view of emerging church and tells us what it's all about.
So, if you are curious about this subject or.
like me, already on board, I think you'll enjoy
this book. |

A Christianity Worth Believing - by Doug Pagitt
|
Doug sets
out a personal vision for his faith. This
is a surprisingly personal and easy to read
account of where he feels Christianity has gone
wrong and something of his journey to find an
expression of faith that is more holistic and
kingdom focussed. |
For me,
this articulated some of the things I was
already feeling but also helped me to see a bit
more clearly something of the road ahead and
what may be possible. |

The Lost Apostle -
by Rena Pederson
|
Rena is a
journalist who uses her 'nose' for a good story
to investigate how a name got changed in the
bible and why. What she uncovers should
make us all uncomfortable and get us to dig a
little deeper into our own understanding of
things. |
For some,
this book will be highly controversial; for
others, liberating. Finding out that there
was a female apostle in the early church may
come as a shock to some. Finding out how
this was covered up and how the church came to
be more like the surrounding culture in its attitude to
women should shock us all. |

Nooma - Rob Bell
|
Nooma DVDs are
a series of short (10 - 15 minute) films about
getting a Christian perspective on issues that
we care about. |
They are
creative and innovative, with Rob Bell giving
insightful spiritual direction in a format for
today's generation. |
