Getting Started............

The publishing business is nuts.  Both real and ethereal bookshelves are crammed with every subject imaginable.  Many books are duplicated and they seem to all run together after a while.  This is my first shot at the blog-thing and I would like to share thoughts on what I am reading with others who are thoughtful about what they are reading.  I am a Christian and a pastor.  You can sort out your baggage on what that means to you.  I don't fit neatly into anyone's box but don't apologize about my faith or its impact on my viewpoint.  My tastes are varied though I do read mostly about leadership, spiritual formation, history and biographies.  Some times trashy fiction sneaks in every now and then.  I don't fear discussing things that are different or even provocative to what I believe-though I loathe mindless pokings from the controversies of the day.  I hope to dialog about things that are interesting, whether new, old, downloaded or dusty shelf sitters.  I would like hear about things from recreation and hobbies too.
