Books to Read

Have you done any of your reading yet?

Remember, Foreign to Familiar is a requirement. It is a short read and very informational.

What is Jesus worth to you?It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily...But who do you know who lives like that? Do you?

Another book that is great is There is no me without you. It is a long read but with so much information. It will give you a great inside look at AIDS in Africa. It is a true story.

Another is not a short or long read, but it is a hard one. If you want to know what life can be like for a child in Africa the book Say You're One of Them is a great in site. This is NOT a Christian book so there is some language but you will learn how 5 children dealt with the struggles of growing up in Africa through short stories.
The Hole in Our Gospel. is about Stearns, the CEO of World Vision. He says Christians have a huge hole in their lives, an emptiness that comes from ignoring the plight of the poor.
