The List

Well, I didn't make it to 26 books in 2008. Rather, I came in at a paltry 19 books. Here's the list:

The Shock of the Old - David Edgerton
Colossians Remixed - Walsh and Keesmaat
How (Not) To Speak of God - Peter Rollins
The Age of Missing Information - McKibben
Irresistable Revolution - Shane Claiborne
Not the Way It's Supposed to Be - Cornelius Plantinga
The Omnivore's Dilemma - Michael Pollan
Consuming Jesus - Paul L. Metzger
Blue Like Jazz - Donald Miller
The Reason for God - Tim Keller
Pagan Christianity - Frank Viola
Being Consumed - William Cavanaugh
The Powers that Be - Walter Wink
Sex God - Rob Bell
Derrida - Live Theory - James K.A. Smith
Surprised by Hope - N.T. Wright
The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins
Subverting Global Myths - Vinoth Ramachandra
Jesus Wants to Save Christians - Rob Bell

The best books I read were Colossians Remixed and The Omnivore's Dilemma. The Reason for God was also very good. The worst book I read was Dawkin's The God Delusion, not because I disagreed with it, but because it was poorly written and utterly unconvincing.

I am again going to try to read 26 books in 2009. At the moment I'm reading Freedom of Simplicity by Richard Foster.
