Hey Charlie,
this doesn’t exactly have to do with this post, but i knew it was the best way to get your attention perhaps. Have you read Nouwen’s “The Wounded Healer”? Let me know. Thanks!

For sure!
Read it in Seminary, but it’s been a few years. Great book!

How about George Barna’s Revolution? I’m wrestling with it now. Not sure I agree with everything but the Church as we knew it is changing … Have these books caused major paradigm shifts in your thinking or just tweaked it here and there?

I wouldn’t say “major paradigm shifts,” per se, but that they articulate what I think/feel about the church.
Barna’s book kinda ticked me off — as I saw him basically condoning this idea of un-church. (I’m not a huge Barna fan, so that doesn’t help).
