I also recommend my own blog ( :D ), which is a menader through Covey's book. Find it at http://stephen-covey-seven-habits-effective.blogspot.com
Any more fiction to recommend?
I'm sort of weak on fiction :) I'm sort of a non-fiction person who is trying to read more fiction. I am reading the Chronicles of Narnia to my kids :)
Thanks for responding. It's vice versa for me for the most part; probably because my dad read The Chronicles of Narnia to me when I was younger. Good memories.
Your non-fiction list will be a great place for me to start. Thanks.
I wanted to add a disclaimer to this "recommended reading" list. These recommendations aren't necessarily "endorsements." I rarely agree with 100% of what I read. For example, I don't agree with the underlying theology of the Celestine Prophecy. But these books have stretched my thinking in different ways.
I just finished reading The Vision and the Vow last night by Pete Greig. I read Red Moon Rising before that and absolutely loved it. It's a life changing book. I'd also recommend Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell. Good stuff.
