As I'm staying for couple of days in London with some friends and relatives, I've started reading Jesus wants to save Christians, by Rob Bell. Amazing book. I have had a chance to see some of NOOM-a videos that Rob produced in last couple of years, and I know I was quite surprised by his approach and his insight.
But in this book as he goes to explore slave mentality and pharaon syndrome that is easily overtaking Christian groups, I was excited about reading stuff I haven't heared of before. Never really gave much thought to it.

Notes: Leadership as an Identity
Today we finished with chapter 5 talking about adequacy. Or better yet, inadequacy. It was a great hour and a half. To be honest, I find that Loritts writes a bit too much in white or black scenarios, as if everything is either-or. And I must say that it doesn't speaks to me in that way. But the idea of having 3 other man discussing about it makes all the difference.

Reading: Heroes of faith: David Livingstone
Some time ago I finished another Heroes of faith book about D.L. Moody, and immediately picked this one up in my local Christian library. But! I took me more than a month to start reading it. Not sure why, I just kept on putting it aside. So far I've read about 30 pages and felt in love with this Livingstone guy. I guess, cause I always wanted to be somewhat of such an character. At age thirteen David Livingstone worked 14 hour shifts in factory, after that spent 2 hours studying Latin only to come home and read until midnight. Only so he could earn enough money to go study medicine in London and go to be a missionary in Africa. I was so impressed by this that I found the book grabbing my attention even more then D.L.Moody biography did.

Read: If you want to walk on water you've got to get out of the boat
So, some time ago I finished listening to an audio book from John Ortberg called "Everybody's normal till you get to know them". Although I like listening to books, I've figured out I only like it for the books I've already read. Otherwise I would "read" it too fast. Well, I've decided to check this Ortberg guy a bit more so I went to Bookdepository.com and searched for some other of his books. Eventually I ended up ordering Zondervans miniature edition, not really knowing what miniature edition means. My wife had a good laugh about it when the book arrived 10 days later. It's a mini pocket size, that's for sure.
