Book: Good Strategy, Bad Strategy I find myself spending more and more time thinking about and writing strategies of late – perhaps this is a sign of my advancing age! Before I started uni, I used to jump in and write code. A computer science degree taught me the benefits of planning what you were …

book: Revolutions in Worldview
Book: Revolutions in Worldview One of two books recommended by my lecturer for this semester as useful background to the “Knowledge of God” subject I’m studying at the moment. And right he was – this is an overview of the concept of worldview from back before there was such a thing, written by a number …
Book: From the Garden to the City – the redeeming and corrupting power of technology
Book: From the Garden to the City: The Redeeming and Corrupting Power of Technology I’ve been reading (author) John Dyer’s blog Don’t Eat the Fruit for a long while, and like his take on technology. He’s a Christian and works for a bible college in Dallas, and has written this book to explain his understanding of …
Book: Lead Generation for the Complex Sale
Book: Lead Generation for the Complex Sale: Boost the Quality and Quantity of Leads to Increase Your ROI When I was first given this book, I didn’t understand all the terms in the title, and was having trouble understanding how it applied to my job.

Book: Catch-22
Book: Catch-22 After I blogged the BBC Book Meme a friend loaned me a number of books I hand’t yet read. I remember starting this book years ago, but didn’t get very far. Judging by the amount of promiscuity in the novel (and some fairly graphic descriptions of same) it’s probably good that I waited to …
book: ideas
Ideas: A History of Thought and Invention, from Fire to Freud It’s taken me over three years to read this book, but it was well worth the effort. Not that it’s hard to read (it’s a heavily referenced non-fiction work), just that there’s a lot to take in. Written from an atheist perspective, we start …
book: preaching for impact
Book: Preaching for impact I have a few sermons coming up, so I thought it would be worth reading through a book about the technique of (and reasons for) preaching to keep my thinking sharp. This is a short, punchy book with a lot of good content – if you’re looking for a quick refresher, …
book: keep your greek
Keep Your Greek: Strategies for Busy People One of the challenges with part-time theological study is to try and hang onto the language learning that you’ve been doing. Having lost a lot of the Hebrew that I studied last year, I thought that this book was worth picking up. It’s a very short book, adapted …
Books: N.T. Wright on Justification
The Future of Justification: A Response to N. T. Wright and Justification: God’s Plan & Paul’s Vision I’ve just spent a week at college listening to lectures on the apostle Paul’s doctrine of justification by Douglas Moo. I’m still thinking through the things that I’ve learned, but thought I’d mention the two books we needed …
Book: Here Comes Everybody
Book: Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations . One of many suggestions from Andy Shaindlin when he presented at work last months was to read this book, so I sourced a copy from a nearby library. It’s always a challenge reading books that relate to technology, as the landscape changes so quickly. …
