Favorite Books Read in 2008:

10. Simply Christian - N.T. Wright










9. Lectures to My Students - Charles Spurgeon







8. Not the Way It's Supposed to Be - Cornelius Plantinga











7. Jesus: Made in America - Stephen Nichols

Biggest Letdowns:

The Golden Compass -Philip Pullman

--I failed to find anything even halfway entertaining about this story. It was a struggle to finish. Dry, dry, dry....just like the movie.

Finding Our Way Again - Brian Mclaren

--I've enjoyed about 60% of Mclaren's work but the number is slowly dropping. I just didn't find anything very helpful or compelling about this one.

What Would Jesus Deconstruct - John Caputo

--About all I can say positively about this one is that it didn't take long to finish!
