I just finished a book last night that I had been reading since May 2007. I knew it had been a while, but over 2 years? Wow! I really do have a problem with starting and not finishing books hey? The book is called 'Tired of Do-List Christianity?' and it's written by Scott Morton who used to work with (or still does, I can't remember) with a Christian organisation called The Navigators. I found the book to be a real blessing. The book goes through different misconceptions that Christians usually hold on to - either to make them feel better about themselves or things that actually weigh them down and steal their joy.
Going through the book, there were many times where I read the misconception presented and then thought Hang on a second! That's not a misconception!. But before I could cry 'Heathen!' Morton continued to explain why it was a misconception and I, subsequently, composed myself, realised my wrong, and then settled into a state of deep conviction.
The book is very easy to read too. It has short chapters, it has a very conversational tone to it and it is quite humorous in it's delivery - yet, like I said before, it still continues to pack the punch of conviction. You may not agree with everything in the book, but I believe there's still more than enough to gain from the book to make it worth recommending.
