In a wonderful crossfire conversation over on Twitter, I picked up that Will Adair was trying to get a global reading group to go through Calvin’s Institutes of Christian Religion in one year and discuss along the way.

Lecrae (via twitter) asks:
What are 3-4 books/authors that have heavily influenced you or that you’d recommend? Don’t hold back, I wanna know.
My response would have taken 10 tweets.
Since I own a blog, I will use it and then respond with a link back.
Since I am about all things pastoring and preaching, here are the books/sets [...]
There were days where I would go weeks without posting anything.
Then my friend from the blogosphere, Anna, posted up the challenge for National Blog Posting Month or NaBloPoMo. (Ah, it just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?)
I love a challenge but was perplexed on what should I write about or would I be able to [...]
The book, Vintage Jesus by Mark Driscoll and Gerry Breshears reminded me of one huge Chick tract but with great theology, wonderful humor and questions that any non-believer (or even old believer like myself) would ask. Trust me, it is a good thing. (I think I was looking for that analogy due to the really [...]
In no particular order, I am looking forward to getting my hands and reading:

Give it away (because giving to help out the kingdom of God is awesome… so awesome I wish I was called to be a Joseph)
Get a whole mess of schoolin’
Get my future bride the ring we want
Get a truckload of books
Take for example, these four sets of [...]
Recently, God placed upon my heart to fire up a Bible Study group. You know, a group of people that would actually study the Bible.
Foreign concept, I know. Stay with me.
Upon that, one of the immediate questions that I had to answer is how do we go about studying the bible as group? Do we [...]
For 32 years of my adult life, I never considered myself a reader. Didn’t care much for books. Wouldn’t seek them out. Wouldn’t join a book club to save my life.
Now, I am reading like it is going out of style. I need more time to read and study. I wish I had 8 hours [...]
I perusing through the religious section of Downtown Fort Worth’s Barnes & Nobles and secretly giggling that Christianity and Eastern Religions are two separate categories.
But that is a topic for another post.
However, in my browsing, I came across this little gem.
I gleed and whoa-ed as I thumb through the pages. Seeing the names of Avraham [...]
