A few good books that I recommend lately

Sorry for the delay in posting, but here is a few books that I have recently read or I am reading now that I think would benefit you greatly:

Death by Suburb by David Goetz



I think this book does a great job of revealing the impact on how certain suburban ideas affect us more than we think. For instance... "I feel perfectly righteous in storming off in the middle of a soccer game when my daughter doesn't get to play. There's so much more at stake than soccer." The author talks about how simple games and children become our immorality symbols to show off to our neighbor. He always hits the nail on the head when he talks about our consumeristic drive for the "cooler church, the more biblical pastor..." Goetz presents a fair critique of the suburbs without completely abandoning the idea or trying to "escape" it.

Desiring God by John Piper



This book has been extremely important in my spiritual growth. This book is really heavy but well worth the long read. Talks about the age-old ideas of why we were created and how we find wholeness. I would be willing to bet that the answers in this book are different than what you expect.
