I definately can't wait to read Crazy Love- I love Francis Chan. I'll probably stick it in there somewhere in the middle since I probably can't wait till the end. All but 2 of those books on my list I already have on my bookshelf- so I'm trying to read what we have before I go buy more- probably won't happen, but its worth a shot!<br/>Read Made to Stick & Tipping Point- great books!!

I just finished two books you might want to tack on to the end of it.<br/><br/>"Crazy Love" by Francis Chan - it's the best book on living the Christian life I've read in years. Maybe ever. It is fantastic. And like I'm sure you have I've read a lot of them - but this one is simply awesome, and manageable at around 100ish pages. I've read a number of books where I sort of already know what they're going to say and I sometimes finish them just because I don't like leaving books unfinished. I wished this one was longer.<br/><br/>"Made to Stick" by Chip Heath (I think it's Chip...I know it's Heath). It's a good compliment to Gladwell's Tipping Point. It's about finding memorable and effective ways to communicate. It talks about why some messages stick and others don't...interesting and it's also pretty practical. Nice list, Mandy.

“Crazy Love” by Francis Chan – it’s the best book on living the Christian life I’ve read in years. Maybe ever. It is fantastic.
