What's on your night stand or coffee table that you're reading right now?
Any recommendations?

Got way too many books that I've started and not finished; here's a few of them:

* The Shaping of Things to Come: Innovation and Mission for the 21st Century Church (Michael Frost and Alan Hirsch)
* Reframing Paul: Conversations in Grace and Community by Mark Strom
* Violence, Hospitality and the Cross (Hans Boersma)
* The Drama of Doctrine (Kevin Van Hoozer)
* Blue Like Jazz (Donald Miller)
* Reading the Bible with the Damned (Bob Ekblad)

I *do* plan to finish each and every one of them one of these days!

<sigh> .. so many books, so little time!

Cheers,

Paul

I'm reading Oliver O'Donnovan's The Just War Revisited and so far its a bit hard to read, but interesting for myself... since I'm a pacifist Mennonite.
