Windows of the Soul

Okay, so I didn’t plan to jump into the Watercooler Wednesday posts so quickly. But, since the chatter around the watercooler today is about favorite books, I figured I would jump in with my favorite book

Scanning my bookshelves makes it hard to pick out just one favorite book. I move from the classics such as Christ & Culture to the monastic of Thomas Merton. Then there’s the holiness of John Wesley and others in the Wesleyan Tradition. Of course I can’t forget the more modern testimony books by people such as Ken Mansfield who worked closely with The Beatles or Grace is Enough by Willie Aames of Eight is Enough fame. I’m also working on Timothy Keller’s new book The Reason for God. After interviewing Dr. Tim on my talk show about his book, I’m even more fascinating by it, and also highly recommend it

However, to boil my library down to one favorite book, I’d have to go with my favorite writer, Ken Gire. Anything by Ken is well worth the read. He’s passionate and has an incredible way of connecting his life, with the life of the reader, as we in turn connect with God. As for all the Ken Gire books I have, my favorite is Windows of the Soul.

Water Cooler Wednesday

I stumbled across a wonderful idea for Wednesday’s. I subscribe to a few other blogs which I read on a regular basis. One of my favorite blogs pointed me to the Cultural Watercooler today. It’s a fascinating site, and hopefully in the days ahead, I’ll start contributing to it too.

In the meantime, feel free to check out the cooler today. It’s a living discussion about favorite books.
