Donald Miller: Blue Like Jazz

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.
