A Reid Who Reads

•  Tim Keller. The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism. I have already started this one and am fascinated.Sold by: Amazon.com, LLC
• Nelson Searcy. Launch: Starting a New Church from Scratch. I know Nelson from his days here with the NCBSC.  I realize I must be more aware of church planting issues if we are to reach America, so I am reading a lot on this subject. 
• Ed Stetzer. Planting Missional Churches. This one is a no-brainer. Can’t wait to read it. 
• Nelson Searcy. Fusion: Turning First-Time Guests into Fully-Engaged Members of Your Church
• Nancy Pearcey and Phillip Johnson. Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity. I know I should have read this one, but was too busy devouring C Wright’s The Mission of God (well that is my excuse).
• Mark Driscoll. Vintage Jesus: Timeless Answers to Timely Questions (Relit Theology). I just like reading Driscoll

• Bob Roberts. The Multiplying Church: The New Math for Starting New Churches. I spent a little time with Bob at a conference where we spoke in Wisconsin a few years back. I figure it is time I smell a little more of what he is stewing.
• Joel Rainey. Planting Churches in the Real World. Joel has recently become a friend, and I really like books that relate to the real world. So I will enjoy this one. 

Feel free to help me educate myself by suggesting other books I should read.  If a plumber’s tools are his pipe wrenches, and a carpenter’s his hammer and tape, the minister’s tools are his books.
