A Radical Reformission through a Search of God Knows What

I have not written much in about a month now. Part of this reason (actually a big part) is I have been reading "Searching for God Knows What" by Donald Miller and "Radical Reformission: Reaching Out Without Selling Out" by Mark Driscoll. Both of these books have me re-evaluating myself and the way I go about doing things. Tie this in with the last 3 sermons by my pastor at my home church (Friendship Baptist Church) and what I use to thing was up is now down and east is now my west.

You see the last month has been mind-boggling to me in how this is all "seemingly coming together." As such, I have been reading my previous posts and realizing how "off" I really am. Not in terms of spiritual or political or social beliefs, but in my priorities and the reason I do some of the things I do. As I looked over many of my posts, I realize that I would like to rewrite almost all of them. Maybe not rewrite but rather edit them.

This is too hard to explain in words, but rather it is my wish that anyone would read the 2 books I mentioned above:

"Searching for God Knows What" by Donald Miller

"Radical Reformission: Reaching Out Without Selling Out" by Mark Driscoll

Click on both titles and you will be taken to the Amazon.com location for both books. I encourage everyone to buy these books or visit your local library and check them out (although I promise you, you'll wish you had bought them.)

Donald Miller is also the author of "Blue Like Jazz," another amazing book.

Mark Driscoll is pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle. Go to their website (click here). There you can find hundreds of sermons and commentary for you to download to a windows media player and listen to while at home or on the job. You can also save them in mp3 format and enjoy them whenever you want. There is ALOT of good stuff at that website for you to listen to.

This may sound insane, but I would consider buying them for you as a "Christmas" gift if money is an issue. I truly belief these books could change your life as it did mine, or maybe it will re-affirm what you already know and have been living all along. I am serious.

As for my next post, I am not sure what it will be on. I may re-do a previous one or continue on my train of thought I have had recently. But things look a whole lot to different to me now than they did a little over a month ago. My motivation and outlook on life has definitely taken a change, for the better.

Until next time, God Bless
