We keep combing the web for great-books lists, and here’s an interesting one from Lifehack: top leadership books for young leaders. We promise you that you’ll be surprised at some of the results (Marcus Aurelius? Viktor Frankel?) They’ve also got an great explanation of why reading is important for business: Reading is an essential life skill. It’s how we record our history and share stories.

We know you like lists of books around here, and an interesting one showed up on The Gospel Coalition a few days ago.  Not all the books are in the faith/work/discipleship/culture-shaping orbit we center around on this blog, but there are several worth checking out, including a daily devotional by Tim Keller and some musings on what the Internet is doing to our brains: Tim Keller, The Songs of Jesus: A Year of Daily Devotions in the Psalms (Viking) This book is... Read more

We attend a medium size church of the mainline variety.  Our customers come in all sorts, and we love the mix of folks that show up here day by day.  Amy, one of our long- standing employees, greeted lots of local folks at the Christmas in Dallastown event this past... Read more

Just stumbled on this list from our friends over at the Institute for Faith, Work, and Economics, compiled by Hugh Whelchel, who is himself an author of a book on faith and work. Hugh says, In a previous post, we recommended ten books for people beginning to explore economics. Economics needs context, however. Today I’d like to recommend ten books on integrating faith, work, and culture. They are all rooted in solid theology. Many of the concepts we’ve discussed on... Read more

This post is part of a Patheos Book club roundtable on The Vulnerable Pastor. I approached this book with some trepidation. I went to seminary in the mid 1990s, when the terminology that was all the rage (at least at my seminary) was that of the wounded healer. The famous book by Henri Nouwen that explained Carl Jung’s thought on this to the masses was several decades old by then (it came out in 1972) but its effects were still... Read more

If you have seen our recent facebook updates or twitter posts you may know that we had a friend drive a large rented van to New Orleans (we flew down and back) in order to set up a large book display for our friends at the Christian Legal Society national conference. This diverse gathering serves ordinary lawyers, judges, law professors and law students helping them think faithfully about their callings in the field of law.  A big seller there is Michael... Read more

By Cheryl Smith; part of a series at TheHighCalling.org called “Best Books for Business.” Stay tuned for more! I currently have four books and a Kindle on my nightstand, and I’m pretty sure there’s at least one book in every room of our house. Yet I don’t consider myself an avid reader. Maybe I’m too distracted, or maybe life is just plain busy. Whatever the case, when I sit down with a book, it has to capture my attention right... Read more
