Since today is the last day of 2010, and I just finished reading another book, I decided to make a list of all the books I read throughout this year. Some of them were a complete waste of time but many of them were spectacular reads and challenged me in many different ways. This is nothing more than a list for you to look over and perhaps find some books to read in 2011. This is not a promotion of any particular books or authors. If you're like me, you're always looking for more suggestions of books to read so here you go:1. Second Guessing God - Brian Jones
2. The Screwtape Letters - CS Lewis
3. Primal - Mark Batterson
4. Thou Fool - DL Moody
5. The Gospel According to LOST - Chris Seay
6. The Blue Parakeet - Scot McKnight
7. From Eternity to Here - Frank Viola
8. Respectable Sins - Jerry Bridges
*9. Pagan Christianity - Viola/Barna
10. Dear Pastor - John Cionca
11. The Principle of the Path - Andy Stanley
12. IT - Craig Groeschel
13. A Gospel Primer - Milton Vincent
14. Stuff Christians Like - Jonathan Acuff
15. What is God Really Like? - Craig Groeschel and Various Authors
16. Why We Love the Church - Kevin DeYoung/Ted Kluck
17. The Radical Disciple - John Stott
18. The Cure for the Common Life - Max Lucado
19. Radical Reformission - Mark Driscoll
20. Outlive Your Life - Max Lucado
21. Gripped by the Greatness of God - John MacDonald
*I did not finish this book because I found many of the views expressed very upsetting. I may eventually keep reading just to see what the authors have to say but I must state that I do not recommend this book*
How about you? What books did you read in 2010?
Looking ahead, here are the books I'm looking forward to reading in 2011:
1. Imaginary Jesus - Matt Mikalatos
2. Radical - David Platt
3. Sun Stand Still - Steven Furtick
4. How The Mighty Fall - Jim Collins
5. Linchpin - Seth Godin
6. Everyone Communicates, Few Connect - John Maxwell
7. Eats With Sinners - Aaron Chambers
8. Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters - Meg Meeker
9. Transformational Church - Ed Stetzer
10. The Christian Atheist - Craig Groeschel
11. The Reason for Sports - Ted Kluck
12. Switch - Chip & Dan Heath
13. Hurt Healer - Tony Nolan
14. The Grace of God - Andy Stanley
I'm still looking for more. Any suggestions?
Happy New Year!

I "read" Linchpin and am halfway through Made to Stick (by the brothers Heath) via my Audible account. Linchpin was excellent. I'd also recommend Drive by Daniel Pink and (definitely) Outliers by Gladwell (the latter is more recommended than the former).
In a faith vein, I am knee deep in Piper's latest, Think. I also have an ongoing relationship with Respectable Sins (both the book and the reality). Otherwise, I need to review my bookshelf to recall what else I consumed in 2010.
I love posts like these, it is great to know what others are influenced by. We're missing you guys for New Year's today. Gonna have to break out Catan: Traders and Barbarians today (in between playing on our iPads :-)
