Witches Abroad: 'Your average witch is not, by nature, a social animal as far as other witches are concerned. There's a conflict of dominant personalities. There's a group of ringleaders without a ring. There's the basic unwritten rule of witchcraft, which is, "Don't do what you will, do what I say." The natural size of a coven is one. Witches only get together when they can't avoid it.' Some people would say that this describes Methodist ministers. Does coven=synod?
Meet the Brown Bomber: by Simon Gqubule and about Rev Seth Mokitimi. An inspiring story about somebody who made his life count - more on my blog!
Total Church: by Tim Chester and Steve Timmis. I've been waiting for the chance to read this and had it all year. I must now read it for my Masters. So I'm hoping to do two chapters a day. I like the authors' premise - we need to find a new way of doing church. I'm also starting to get a bit sceptical of all the new ways that people propose! But this comes highly recommended, so we'll see. The intro has stuff that supports my Masters thesis - church needs to be word centred and mission centred (pg 16). Having studied it a bit already, I find their argument in chapter 1 a little bit - um, not quite there. But I agree with the principle.
Hebrews 2&3: Jesus was made perfect in suffering. And Job. And maybe phase 1's. Also 'let none of you have sinful, unbelieving hearts'. Lord give me a right heart.
