No, I don't mean I'm not going to be reading. In fact, just the opposite. It's just that, well, I have too many that I've accumulated over the past 4 or 5 months and I have to get them read.
So here is my list of books that I'm going to try and knock down over the next 3 - 4 months or so. Some are half done, some are brand new this week.
I'm going to set a goal each Friday. If I don't make (and post)the goal for the week, the first reader to alert me to that fact after 10 PM Friday (in the comments section) will win a prize. If I make my goal, I get the prize. Deal? But here's the catch, you have to register in the comments section of this post by Monday @ 10 PM! The prize for this week will be a $5 Starbucks card.
here's My list:
- Serving God on the Christian School Board - Roy W. Lowrie,
- Boards that make a difference - by John Carver
- Fresh Ideas - by Diana Davis
- Becoming a True Spiritual community - Larry Crabb
- Community of Kindness - by Steve Sjogren and Rob Lewin
- Beyond the First Visit - Gary L. McIntosh
- First Impressions - by Mark L. Waltz
- Loving Homosexuals as Jesus would - by Mark L. Waltz
- With or without God - Gretta Vosper
- Emotionally Healthy Spiritually by Peter Scazzero
- Restoring the Christian Soul - by Leanne Payne
- Relational Apostolic Families - T.A. Osiowy
- Creating a World Without Poverty - Muhammad Yunus
- 11 Indispensible Relationships You Can’t Be Without - Leonard Sweet

I will finish The Search to Belong (half done), and The Heart of a Father this week.

Count me in! Sounds like a worthy goal. While I'd love the Starbucks card I hope you get your books finished more.
Me too! Especially since Cdn. $ is worth more than US$ at the moment. Are you reading them all in 1 week each?
count me in but i'm not sure if i'm gaining by this or not...doesn't it all come from the same account?
I hear ya, but 10pm is past my bedtime!
Ang
I'm in!
Hey can you send that Starbucks card to your favourite sister in Penticton??
But of course, I too would rather you finished the books up!! I have a similar pile...different topics but some of these look interesting..maybe when I've finished my STACK of unfinished books I'll add a couple from your list...maybe....
Hey here's a title to add to your list...I'm sure you'd love it! The pastor at our Christian school recommended it to all of us on the development committee...although I think he recommends it to ALL parents. It's called "Hold onto Your Kids. Why Parents Need to Matter More than Peers" by Gordon Neufeld. You can check it out here:

Ummmmmmm, just looking over your list, I am always on the prowl for a good read...The Loving Homosexuals as Jesus would - by Mark L. Waltz caught my eye....but I think it is by Chad Thompson? Just a little by the by! Happy Reading, sounds like a challenging but great list!
rebecca - you are correct in that it is by chad thompson.
heather - i'll look at that book when i finish the 19 on the list...
I'm in...but if I win does that mean you'll mail me my prize?! :) I like this idea it's a good motivator! Hope all is well CRraigs!!! ;)
