Each year (see 2010, 2011, 2012) I share a list of my top ten books published that year. Creating this year’s list was both a challenge and a joy.
| Rob Bell | What We Talk About When We Talk About God |
| Wendy Cadge | Paging God: Religion in the Halls of Medicine |
| Lillian Daniel | When Spiritual but Not Religious is Not Enough: Seeing God in Surprising Places, Even the Church |
| Meredith Gould | The Social Media Gospel: Sharing the Good News in New Ways |
| Galen Guengerich | God Revised: How Religion Must Evolve in a Scientific Age |
| John R. Mabry | Faithful Generations: Effective Ministry Across Generational Lines |
| John Shelby Spong | The Fourth Gospel: Tales of a Jewish Mystic |
| Jim Wallis | On God’s Side: What Religion Forgets and Politics Hasn’t Learned About Serving the Common Good |
| Cecil Williams & Janice Mirikitani | Beyond the Possible: 50 Years of Creating Change in a Community Called Glide |
| Ethan Zuckerman | Rewire: Digital Cosmopolitans in the Age of Connection |
Note: Only those books I reviewed here on sowhatfaith.com were considered for inclusion on this list.
So What?
From the list above, the two that have had the greatest impact on my journey of faith are
- God Revised: How Religion Must Evolve in a Scientific Age by Galen Guengerich, and
- Faithful Generations: Effective Ministry Across Generational Lines by John R. Mabry.
