Olivia Joules and The Overactive Imagination: Helen Fielding

From the creator of Bridget Jones. And you can kind of tell.. The odd list here and there. A surprisingly capable young professional woman. Some very fun characters. Its a read in one sitting on the beach book. Pure chick lit at its best! Gotta love it!

Sex God: Rob Bell

This is a very very beautiful book. I mean its incredibly beautiful. Don’t read it if you are looking for a manual of Christian sex and relationships. I think you will miss the point. Seriously, he weaves the most beautiful picture of God’s love for His people that I have ever come across. Its thoroughly gorgeous. I need to return to this book and look again at it. And again. And again. Read it.. please.

The Irresistable Revolution: Shane Claiborne

This is perhaps a funny choice as the last read before I go to an Anglican selection conference. But it feels so fitting, sketching a picture of what it might look like to love the poor in a community setting. If I get a no from the Bishop's advisers this book gives me hope that a band of non professionals will one day live it out where I am.. As a book.. well it repeats itself a little but kind of works nonetheless..
