i have spent the last couple of weeks reading what is probably one of the most amazing books i have ever come across. it's called, "in the name of jesus" by henri nouwen. this book is so beautifully written that you cannot help turning each page in guilty anticipation of what you are being convicted of in your ministerial life...the three main issues addressed are these (taken from the story of the temptation of Jesus)
1.) The temptation to be relevant.
2.) The temptation to be spectacular.
3.) The temptation to be powerful.
Each temptation is then followed with a challenge to embrace a discipline, and then a call to higher life.
Great book, written in a style of easy flowing prose similar to Ken Gire.
