If you don’t know what a book tag is, it’s the Internet version of a chain letter. I have to answer the question and pass this on to five other friends. If I don’t, Pernell will experience [sewage problems](http://pernell.typepad.com/pernellog/2005/06/poo%5Fpoo.html?ref=dashhouse.com) or something, so I had better do this. **Number of Books I Own:** Just shy of two thousand and growing – I’m running out of bookshelves **The Last Book I Bought:** *[The Likeability Factor](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/1400080495/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com)* by Tim Sanders – Sure I need to read it but I was also thinking of giving it to [Stephen Harper](http://www.conservative.ca/english/leader.asp?ref=dashhouse.com) **The Last Book I Read:** *[Post-Rapture Radio](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/0787973939/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com)* by Russell Rathburn, a quirky little book with some fantastic insights **Books That Mean a Lot to Me:** These are not the deepest or most scholarly books I have read, but they have all made an impact. 1\. *[Rebuilding Your Broken World](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/0785261206/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com)* by Gordon MacDonald – This book was written by a pastor who had an affair, someone I admired early in my ministry. This book opened came at a formative time in my life and made me a lot more realistic about weakness and a lot more appreciative of grace. 2\. *[Building the Bridge as You Walk on It](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/078797112X/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com)* by Patrick Quinn – On choosing deep change over slow death. 3\. *[Soul Salsa](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0310230144/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com)* by Len Sweet – This was just a really fun book with some fantastic quotes and a good emphasis on orthopraxy. 4\. *[Bird by Bird](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0385480016/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com)* by Anne Lamott – Anne is too vulgar for some but I enjoy reading her thoughts on writing and on life. 5\. *[Amazing Grace](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/0060976977/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com)* by Jonathan Kozol – A challenging book on poverty and social justice. 6\. *[The Present Future](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/0787965685/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com)* by Reggie McNeal – How to de-convert from churchianity. 7\. *[The Church in Emerging Culture](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0310254876/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com)* ed. by Len Sweet – I loved the interaction between the contributors. More books should be written in this format. 8\. *[Unfreezing Moves](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0687051770/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com)* by Bill Easum- Helping a church move beyond growth or even health to join Jesus on the mission field. 9\. *[The Art of Pastoring](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/0830816690/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com)* by David Hansen – The subtitle says it all: “Ministry without all the answers.” Eugene Peterson says, “This is the freshest and most honest book on pastoral work you’re ever likely to come upon.” I agree. I’d list more but I have to stop sometime **Tag 5 More:** 1\. [Charlene Dash](https://www.dashhouse.com/charlene/) 2\. [Ed De Freitas](http://www.ourhangout.net/movabletype/index.html?ref=dashhouse.com) 3\. [Bene Diction](http://www.benedictionblogson.com/?ref=dashhouse.com) 4\.
