Book Recommendation

A few months ago, I picked up a book called Culture Making by Andy Crouch. I did so upon the recommendation of a man in our church.

I’ve had a hard time getting into the book. The first chapter or two is aimed at defining culture, and was rather heavy going. So, I had not made much progress until last week when getting through the first chapter or two I’ve now found the book to be not only intriguing but a very, very important assessment of how Christians might best be engaged in the world. It’s a book I think I might need to read twice.

So last Thursday, I met for coffee the man who initially recommended the book to me, only to find out that he has not actually read it! And, it seems, that the one who recommended it to him had not at the time of the recommendation read it either.

Well that is just curious to me.

I’ll try to avoid any further recommendation of the book until I’ve read it. Then, if worthy, I’ll need to work back up the chain of recommendations to get those guys to read it.
