"What's On Your Bookshelf?" is the title for this Sunday's sermon. As I mentioned in a previous post, we will be discussing the impact of Christian fiction (particularly The Shack and The Da Vinci Code) on people of faith and those in the wider culture.

In preparation for this Sunday I would like you to give some thought to the books you read. What genre do you like? Do you read for enjoyment or mostly for work, school, etc.? If you had a free day just for reading what would you read?

I'd also like for you to consider what books (if any) have changed your life. Was there a book you read at a particular time in your life that impacted the way you saw the world? Is there a book that you keep returning to over and over? A book that speaks to you in a timeless way?

If you would like to, you can come with a couple of titles in mind that you would recommend to others. There will be a place a the Prayer Station where you can share the titles of your favorite books. The books you recommend don't have to be specifically Christian books. I would ask that they be books that influenced your life in a positive way. Those titles will then be shared with the larger congregation through a 'virtual' bookshelf.
