For all of you who follow me on twitter, you probably saw this morning’s tweet. I asked what the best book(s) you’ve read over the last six months. Many of you responded to my tweet, and there are some great books on the list. Some I have read, and others I have not. Here they are!

• Lost and Found – Ed Stetzer
• Essential Church - Thom and Sam Rainer
• Leading with a Limp -Dan Allender
• High Stakes – Kathy Herman
• Liberating the Ministry from the Success Syndrome – R. Kent Hughes
• Crazy Love – Francis Chan
• High Call High Privilege - Gail MacDonald
• Building Your Leadership Resume – Johnny Hunt
• Voices Behind the Veil – Ergun Caner

If you have any other books you’d like to add to this list you can do so by leaving a comment.

Okay, so I know I’ve been bad about updating again. I guess time flies and I forget how long I go without writing. That or I’ve resigned myself to dumping my thoughts on twitter. You can always stay more up to date there.

I do, however, want to do a quick family update. Most of you should know that our second child, Hannah Ruth was born on June 22nd. Both Mom and Baby are doing great. We are transitioning to a four person home quite well. It’s interesting to see Josh interact with her. Sometimes he can be a wonderful and sweet big brother, and other times he attempts to rip Hannah out of my arms. He is still a daddy’s boy and doesn’t like anyone, even his sister invading his turf. I have to say that being a father is one of the greatest things I’ve ever experienced in my life. I am truly grateful to God for the family that he has given me.

There’s more that can be said, but I need to run. I do want to tell you about a set of posts that I’m going to do in the future. One is on reading, how to read, what to read, etc… It’s based off of a series of blogs run by my Seminary, Southeastern. More to come later. I also want to talk about a great book I just finished last week called Crazy Love. Stay turned for the updates, and here are some pictures. (More in the gallery!)

It seems more and more I hear this question asked. As many of you know, I twitter personally, but I’ve also been charged with starting a twitter account for our Timothy Barnabas Pastor’s Retreat at First Baptist Woodstock. ( http://twitter.com/timothybarnabas ) Today one of my friends Mike Calhoun posted this article (Ten Twitter Mythconceptions) on his twitter page. So for all of you who are asking, “What is Twitter?” This article is for you. It doesn’t cover every aspect, but it will help you understand a little more!
