Summer Reading List

Summer is my time to do some more light and random reading. Since I spend most of the year focused around one study subject – this year’s subject is addictions and recovery – the summer is time to do some different reading. There’s less theology and ministry related reading and a bit more fiction. I’ve already completed two of the books on this list. Here’s this year’s summer reading list, given without comment:

1. You Are What You Love by James K.A. Smith
2. Election of Grace by Stephen Williams
3. The History of Jazz by Ted Gioia
4. The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
5. Finding God in the Verbs by Jennie Isbell and J. Brent Bill
6. Citizens by Simon Schama
7. A Peculiar Glory by John Piper
8. Love in the Ruins by Walker Percy
9. The Heart of Addiction by Mark Shaw
10. Confident Pluralism by John Inazu
11. Church in Hard Places by Mez McConnell and Mike McKinley
12. Asking for It – Kate Harding
13. Advances in the Study of Greek – Constantine Campbell
