Brian McLaren. The Voice of Luke: Not Even Sandals. Thomas Nelson, 2007. 224 pp.
Remember when I sent you out with no money, no pack, not even sandals? Did you lack anything?
(Luke 22:35)
From the same writing team of The Dust Off Their Feet comes a fresh exploration of the life of Jesus with retelling of the timeless narrative found in The Gospel of Luke. Not Even Sandals recovers the passion, grit, humor, and beauty have been lost in our translations of Luke. This stands alone among narratives as a supernatural action-adventure.

Eugene H. Peterson. Eat This Book: A Conversation in the Art of Spiritual Reading. Eerdmans, 2006. 186 pp.
Eugene Peterson is convinced that the way we read the Bible is as important as that we read it. Do we read the Bible for information about God and salvation, for principles and “truths” that we can use to live better? Or do we read it in order to listen to God and respond in prayer and obedience?
The second part of Peterson’s momentous five-volume work on spiritual theology, Eat This Book challenges us to read the Scriptures on their own terms, as God’s revelation, and to live them as we read them. With warmth and wisdom Peterson offers greatly needed, down-to-earth counsel on spiritual reading.
