I've Been Tagged...

I've watched these deals flyin' around the blogsphere and somehow up 'til now I'd not been tagged.

'Til now. Tag. I'm it.

I agree with Tim - who tagged me - this does feel an awful lot like those chain emails I delete without reading. But, Tim's playing, so this must be something quite different. Here's my list...

One book that changed your life: Inside Out by Larry Crab (Honestly, I'm not merely mimicking Tim. The painful year I worked through that book was 1993.)
One book that you've read more than once: Star Belly Sneeches by Dr. Suess
One book that you'd want on a desert island: Ten Fun Things to Do Before You Die by Karol Jackowski
One book that made you laugh: Fearfully and Wonderfully Weird: A Screwball Look at the Church and Other Things from the Pages of the Wittenburg Door by Doug Peterson & Winfield Tutte
One book that made you cry: Disappointment with God by Philip Yancey
One book that you wish had been written: Surviving Middle School Gym Class: For the Zit-faced, Non-athletic Kid by anyone
One book you wish had never been written: While I was never a fan of those little tracts by Jack Chick, apparently intended to scare the hell out of people... and while I haven't read (nor will I) any of those Left Behind books, I value the freedom for anyone, for any reason, to write and print their thoughts, beliefs and questions. I just wish a bunch of the "fundie-God-is-a-scary- tyrant-rule-enforcer" books had never been read.
One book you are currently reading: Breaking the Missional Code: Your Church Can Become a Missionary in Your Community by Ed Stetzer & David Putman
One book you've been meaning to read: The Secret Message of Jesus: Uncovering the Truth that Could Change Everything by Brian McClaren

And, now this tagging thing means I'm supposed to tag 5 others to post the same information from their library of reading. Here are the lucky tagees: Andy Rowell, Scott Engbrecht, Mike Erickson, Rich Kirkpatrick, Judy Gregory, and Anne Jackson.
