What we are reading right now . . .

Greetings followers, friends and web-crawlers! Today I want to bring you a very special post to encourage you to read.  At TIBM, we encourage and even require that all our staff members be active, lifetime learners.  Everyone on our team must always have something that they are doing intentionally to learn. Just recently, I asked everyone to bring with them up to three books that they were currently reading.  I thought some of you might be interested in such a list, so here it is.  The following is a list of the things we at Trinity International are reading right now:

• The Great Divorce (C.S. Lewis)
• That Hideous Strength (C.S. Lewis)
• Peace Child (Don Richardson)
• To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee)
• Strength to Love (Martin Luther King Jr.)
• Don't Waste Your Life (John Piper)
• Transforming Mission (David Bosch)
• Caring for the South Asian Soul (Kulanjiyil & Thomas)
• Rituals, Mantras and Science (Jayant Bruce)
• Radical (David Platt)
• History of Christian Missions (Stephen Neil)
• Spiritual Disciplines Handbook (Adele Calhoun)
• Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God (J.I. Packer)
• Union and Communion with Christ (Hudson Taylor)
• Holding the Ropes (Helen Parks)

The brief and informal reviews were all pretty positive for these books.  I can't really call them official recommendations, but I think we're all finding these books to be quite helpful in different ways.
