It's been a while since I was in the habit of knocking out a few books. So here is an update of one that I am tracking with.
[Taken from my moleskin] 20 Jan 2008
Reading: The Forgotten Ways, Alan Hirsch.
"I've had good intentions of reading this book since it came out -- and now, coming off of Exiles by Frost; it only seemed fitting. Alas - I do not read nearly as much as I should - nor do I finish all of the books that I start.
I had this book for the entire Winter break, and simply had not read it - I renewed it from the library without reading a single word.
I cracked it on my flight to PDX last Friday, but didn't make it very far. I ended up chatting with the guy next to me. Today on my return flight I am sitting here with a mix of emotion. First, excitement, joy, wonderment, awe; but all of that is tempered by a tepid fear and a creeping anxiety.
I remarked to Jake [a fellow mobilizer here at ITeams] that this book is going to change my life, and I truly believe that after reaching about a third of the way in."
... So there you have it [minimally edited] straight from my personal journal. I'm only to about page 70, and there are 295 pages [includes table of contents, and addendum's/glossary/bibliography - btw, I hate when publishers do that!].

Hey Chris, welcome to my world! And the 'fellowship of freaks' who now simply cannot see things another way. :-) Read discerningly and open-heartedly and my prayer and belief is that God will be your guide. Thanks for reading it.
In Jesus
