February Reading

February 28th, 2001 by Marc A. Pitman

February 2001
Values-Driven Leadership by Aubrey Malphurs
Malphurs takes marketplace wisdom and effectively presents it for ministries and churches. This is one of my MA text books but I’m applying his points in my regular life too!

Truth Restored: A Short History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
I’m not a Mormon but I am interested in other groups’ religious experiences. And I prefer to read about those experiences from “insiders.” Plus, I had to get something during my visit to Salt Lake City! Interesting presentation on the history of a unique American group.

If Only He Knew by Gary Smalley
I’m so glad Smalley wrote this book on marriage. I read it when I was first married but it’s amazing how much I’ve forgotten in six years!

Fast Company Career Guide: It’s YOUR Career…Are YOU In Charge?
Good compilation of FC articles. Very helpful resource about working and managing a career in the “new” economy–even if you don’t work for a dot com!

The Celtic Way of Evangelism by George G. Hunter III
Terrific quick read. Hunter gives a very interesting account of Celtic Christianity and how Celtic principles can positively shape modern day “church.”

Building a Winning Web Site by Robert Bly
Interesting, informative little volume offered free on Network Solutions’ ImageCafe.com website.

January’s Books

January 30th, 2001 by Marc A. Pitman

January 2001
Christian Ethics by Norman L. Geisler
Learning ethical systems is a great way to learn about how others see the world. Thought Part I was much better than Part II. Not a page-turner.

Second Wind by Dick Francis
I love a good detective novel. Gotta balance out my reading a bit!

Be a Manager for God’s Sake by Bruce Winston, Ph.D.
Bet you’ve never read the Bible’s teachings quite this way before! Check out Essay 7. It’s very interesting. The rest is sort of dry but it was required for my MA.

The True Wilderness by H.A. Williams
This priest decided he wanted theology to impact his heart as much as his head. This book is a collection of sermons he gave in Cambridge. Powerful, life-affirming stuff!
e-affirming stuff!
