Here are the books I have read lately that I would recommend to pastors.  Just because I suggest book doesn’t mean that I agree with it all or even a majority of it. However, they helped shape my direction and I think they are relevant to ministry today.

• When God is First | Mike Hayes
• Organic Church | Neil Cole
• Servolution | Dino Rizzo
• Silent No More | Rod Parsley
• Revolution in World Missions | KP Yohannan
• Made to Stick | Dan and Chip Heath
• Leadership Transitions for Growth | Michael Fletcher
• Seven Practices of Effective Ministry | Andy Stanley
• Studies in Doctrine | Alister McGrath (in the middle of it)
• Natural Church Development | Christian Schwartz
• The Life Giving Church | Ted Haggard (written many years ago)

Here are the other books I’ve read.  Same disclaimer as above…

• Radical | David Platt
• Crazy Love | Francis Chan
• The Broken American Male and How to Fix Him | Rabbi Shmuley Boteach
• 25 Ways to Win With People | John Maxwell
• Anything from Joel Rosenburg (I’ve read all his fiction and non-fiction) the latest was The Twelfth Imam
• The Scarlett Letter | Nathaniel Hawthorne (in the middle of it)
• Loving Your Kids on Purpose | Danny Silk (in the middle of it)

I have focused on the Old Testament “Prophets” this year.

Any books you recommend??
