Nadia Bolz-Weber: Salvation on the Small Screen? 24 Hours of Christian Television
This is my book. It will change your life. Ok, not really.
Kester Brewin: Signs of Emergence
This book is tremendous. Drawing on his background as a math teacher, Brewin explores why the church is where it is and why it is to change...using complexity theory. This is a must read.
Edward and Lorna Mornin: Saints: A Visual Guide
This is a gorgeous handbook of the saints.
Peter Rollins: How (Not) to Speak of God.
Pete is an emerging church pastor of the Ikon community in Belfast, Ireland. I can't recommend this book enough.
Phyllis Tickle: The divine hours
Phyllis is one the smartest women I've ever met. I'm using this book for matins and noon prayer as well as vespers and compline.
Anne Lamott: Traveling Mercies : Some Thoughts on Faith
One of my favorite books of all time. She's pretty cranky and sarcastic too.
Eddie Gibbs: Emerging Churches: Creating Christian Community in Postmodern Cultures
Gibbs and Bolger spent 5 years compiling this book which relys heavily on interviews with emerging church leaders in the US and the UK. They seem to favor independant churches over denominational ones...so very little is said about us "loyal radicals"
« A sermon based on Pslam 148 for the first week of Christmas | Main | Sermon on Haiti and the Wedding at Cana »
Taking inspiration from Rev. Martin Poole and Beyond's Beach Hut Advent Calendar House for All Sinners and Saints undertook to make an Advent Calendar over the days of Advent. Different people in the community made a "day" out of shoe (and other similar sized) boxes. We displayed them on shelves hung between ladders. It was fun to see our calendar grow with new scenes each week.
See the whole set here at Sister Amy Clifford's flicker page!

Great idea!
Each year I invite members of my congregation to collaborate on a devotional book for Advent.
It's one of the highlights of our year!

Wow... just wow... and I thought the traveling Nativity set was cool - this is BRILLIANT. This is a fabulous idea. I'm going to have to borrow this one for my church.

Your article is that I wanted. I am looking for a kind of article that is similar to your. I had study Air Jordan shoes recently, you know that many people want to find a valid way to buy cheap Air Jordans shoes.
