Max Lucado: 3 Books I Love

1. The Singer by Calvin Miller
The Singer is a remarkable blend of the gospel and poetry.

2. Killing Giants, Pulling Thorns by Charles Swindoll
Someone gave me this coffee table book my first week in ministry. And I thought, A pastor could write like that?! Chuck was so honest and creative.

3. Peculiar Treasures by Frederick Buechner
Buechner profiles the Bible’s most holy and profane people—and one whale. He brings moments from Scripture to life in a way that makes readers realize that many of these legendary figures are not who we thought they were. But they are—in their human dreams, ambitions and imperfections—very much like us.

Expect to Be Different

Avoiding interaction with the world will ensure not only that the world dies but that your church will too. This is the way salt works: it is either used proactively or it becomes destructive to the one who has it.

The Strengths of Smaller Healthy Churches

Small churches can create a family environment for disconnected people if they lean into the built-in intimacy they already have.
