Books of Summer

Well as you can obviousely see I do not make it a priority to jump on blog and do a ton of blogging, and today I was feeling a bit guilty about that so I thought I'd come on and say a word or two. Recently I have been doing a lot of reading and one of the books I have read is one not yet published, but is coming out in Septmber, props to James for sending me the book. Its titled "So you don't want to go to church anymore" by Jake Colsen (actually a pen name for 2 contributing authors). The book itself is written in narrative form, telling the story of "Jake" as he tries to experience God in tangeable and real ways in his daily life. He is fed up with going to church and doing christian things and not feeling like he has even started to know who God is in an intimate form. Although it is written as a narrative it is really an expression of thoughts regarding personal spirituallity by Wayne Jacobsen and Dave Coleman. I don't want to give too much of it away though as I really think you should read it yourself, it is worth the read, if for no other reason then an interesting story. I am still digesting the information found in the novel myself and am probably going to read it again to fill out my thoughts some more on it, but overall I was impressed and challenged by what was written.
