I highly recommend Wesley Willmar’s “God and Your Stuff.” It’s not new but is a great book of stewardship, discipleship and how we use our finances is a reflection of our relationship with Christ.
Thanks Matt. A pastor friend just recommended “Same kind of different as me” and I am lookiong forward to reading it. This past year I also read “The Hole in Our Gospel” by Rich Stearns from World Vision and it challenged me a lot.
“Left to Tell” by Immaculee Ilibagiza with Steve Erwin. I began reading it the afternoon before Thanksgiving Day and finished it Thankgsgiving morning . . . and I cried! I also took your suggestion to read “A Million Miles in a Thousand Years”, another one I couldn’t put down until I had finished it!
I met a lady in the grocery store who shared with me that I should read the book “Same Kind of Different as Me” . . . she was behind me in the checkout line and I was short $.93! She insisted on paying the difference . . .
I’ve read a few of these (and one more than a few times) but was so inspired by your descriptions that I just added the others to my Amazon Wish List. Now I actually do know what I want for Christmas… Thanks Matt!
Just finished reading A Million Miles in a Thousand Years last night. Thanks for the recommendation. What a great book!
I’ve heard good things about “The Hole in Our Gospel” as well. Thanks for the reminder, Henry. I need to add that to my list of books to read in 2011.

Radical is a MUST READ!!!!
Sharon – I was referring to the Bible’s book of Job — not exactly a book like the others on my list, but one that impacted me a lot in 2010.
Who is the author of the book of Job? Miller? I cannot find it.
You guys have given me some books to check out – thanks.
