I want to get lost in a book to pass the time. Can you recommend anything? http://lyn.lifeshapedfaith.com/2008/07/help-me-find-a-book-to-read/ I've got David Crowder's album Remedy on.

I have ... http://lyn.lifeshapedfaith.com/2008/06/why-blog/ As I wrote on Friday, I have not had time to write my thoughts about what is missional.
