I enjoy reading novels to reduce stress. However, since I’ve started writing two blogs, I haven’t had much time to read novels.
I write a boomer consumer blog called The Survive and Thrive Boomer Guide at http://boomersurvive-thriveguide.typepad.com and a blog called the Boomer Consumer for the Seattle Post Intelligencer at http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/boomerconsumer/.

Hey Eric
My most recent reads are:
“PunkMonk” by Andy Freeman & Pete Greig - recommended to me my Keith Ayling - tells the powerful story of the 24/7 Prayer movement’s Boiler Rooms - radical prayer-focussed communities of Jesus followers. It’s powerful & inspirational stuff worth checking out. A nice easy read too.

“The Sacred Way” by Tony Jones - I’ve been looking a lot at spiritual practices, so found this very helpful.

Then, one book I keep going back to over and over is Michael Frost’s “EXILES: Living Missionally in a Post Christian Culture” - massively challenging. In my opinion, it’s one of the best books on mission out there.

Finally, anything by Shane Claiborne is worth a read. The one I’ve tackled most recently is “Jesus for President” - great read, beautifully illustrated, with plenty of humor as well as a deeply challenging call to radical Christianity.

I have a quite a few books I will be reading this summer. I am a High School Math Teacher, so summer is a time to relax and recharge. I just finished John Edridge’s “Walking with God”…LOVED this book. I have not been a fan of his other books except “Waking the Dread” but this one went straight to my heart. Other books on my list this summer…”Crazy Love” by Francis Chan, “Wide Awake” by Erwin McManus, “Primal Leadership” by Daniel Goleman, Richard E. Boyatzis and Annie McKee and “Twelve Mighty Orphans” by Jim Dent.
Look forward to adding to my Summer Reading List and hope yours is ENJOYABLE and RESTFUL!
Living the Dream,
