Books Books and more Books!

If one of the keys to continual growth as a leader is to be a regular reader, than I should be progressing well in the next few months. Yesterday, I received two emails inviting me to be part of a blog tour and thus will review two books upon their arrival. Later, I checked the mail and a parcel arrived from Amazon.ca with a pile of books. One is a new book by Stephen Altrogge titled Game Day for the Glory of God - a book that talks about two of my favorite topics: sports and theology. I'm especially hoping our PCA students will find this book valuable as they wrestle with what it means to live as a follower of Christ and be an intense, competitive athlete. Also, a grade 12 student here at PCA took it upon himself to lead a Bible study using Rick Warren's book The Purpose Driven Life. I think it is so great for high school guys to think about the topics in that book now (rather than when they get to a mid-life crisis!). Today, the Three Hills Ministerial had our monthly meeting with a special guest, Bruxy Cavy from the Meeting Place in Toronto. A copy of his book, The End of Religion, was given to each local church (and to me as the PCA representative) by the president of PBI, Dr Jon Ohlhauser, as Bruxy is here to speak at their Christian Life Week. Hopefully I will post some book reviews on each of these titles in the near future.
