Yes, it’s true! The “blogging king” made an exit…and everyone mourned the loss of such an incredible blogger. Yet—it turns out that he, along with Brian Bailey, have written a book entitled “The Blogging Church” which totally has to do with…DUH…blogging! Yes—that’s me in my office with this treasured piece of work!

I would HIGHLY recommend this book if you want to begin blogging…think you should start blogging…or just want to know more about it. And trust me…it is an easy read! You may think, “Well…I am not a computer geek & so I won’t understand it.” Uh…yeah…our IT guy had to come in to my office the other day and put batteries in my wireless mouse because I could not figure out what in the world was wrong with it…THAT is how technical I am…and yet I understood the book!

Some of the people Terry & Brian interviewed for this project were me, Mark Batterson, Tony Morgan, Mark Driscoll...and a few others as well. You have GOT to get this book when it comes out…it will open your eyes to world of blogging…and some FANTASTIC wisdom is shared!!!

A few other great reads…just in case you are interested…

This is one of the best books I have ever read! I was able to meet Dr. Cloud a few weeks back…yeah, he’s possibly one of the smartest men on the planet. I literally could not put this book down…it is an incredible mix of leadership, psychology, and Christian teachings. EVERY pastor in the world should read this book!!!

And then I read this book! All I’ve got to say is, “Craig—thank you for being honest bro!” If you are somewhat religious…this book will offend you. However, if you want to grow in your walk with God…you need to read this book. Craig puts aside the fake side that many pastors seem to display and gets real! WOW!

And then finally…I did read Mark’s book...and I don’t think you should read this one…IF you want to stay comfortable. You see…if you read this book then you are going to be challenged to take GIANT leaps of faith for God. You won’t be able to sit around and be comfortable any longer. Seriously—after I read this book I wanted to go to the local zoo, crawl in a cage with a lion and KICK HIS REAR END! This book is awesome…it’s not safe…but it’s awesome!

AND…one more thing…Tony Morgan wrote an article in Outreach magazine about NewSpring Church—you can check it out here. Loved it!!!

See you this weekend for Christmas Eve…oh yeah…talked to Lee about the music today & he said that the music will be the best it has ever been for anything we have ever done!!! YEAH!
