Life Together is great and short, I would not mind reading that again at all. Jesus for President is on the floor by my bed waiting to be read. And my overall pick would be Surprised By Hope because its N.T. Wright and he is British.

First choice is Surprised by Hope.
Second choice is How Not to Speak of God.
Third choice is Jesus for President.

I’m on a Bonhoeffer kick right now - so I say life together - but you probably shouldn’t take my suggestion seriously b/c I probably won’t be able to make very many more meetings.

I’m good for any of them.

I really would be up for anything.

I really enjoyed New Christians and think it would be great for fostering discussion. I’m almost finished with Jesus for President and have had many long held ideas challenged…it has me frustrated.

My list would be…
1. How (Not) to Speak of God.
2. Surprised by Hope.
3. Christianity for the Rest of Us.

but up for anything….

I’m glad to see we have a consensus!

…or not…
