The Apostle Paul had a healthy ego it seems. To our modern and critical eye such confidence often appears to border on arrogance. The foundation of Paul's confidence was not his own abilities, but the content and substance of the gospel he felt compelled to proclaim. For Paul, to live is Christ.

N. T. Wright: Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church
Gold! This book is full of wonderful, life-affirming truth that is at the heart of the gospel; that God has a plan for the future of our world that is full of hope and promise. I read it slowly and prayerfully and loved every moment.Dallas Willard: The Spirit of the Disciplines - Reissue : Understanding How God Changes Lives
An absolute classic. Argues persuasively and pastorally for the necessity of a disciplined inward life on the road to spritual wholeness. This book changed my life.Tim Winton: Cloudstreet
Uniquely Australian. Funny, magical, heart-wrenching and deeply insightful - Cloudstreet takes the reader over a roller-coaster of emotions as it recounts the story of one family and its struggles to overcome.Donald Miller: Blue Like Jazz
Full of whimsical prose, Blue Like Jazz reads just like a book should when its pages have been formed in coffee-shop coversations. Miller shares vignettes, conversations, inward musings from a life searching after God.Mike Yaconelli: Messy Spirituality : Christianity for the Rest of Us
If you ever thought that the spiritual life was only for those with super-human levels of discipline, patience and self-control, then read this book. As the title suggests, real spirituality is lived out in the messy ordinariness of our everyday lives. Life-giving in every way.
