The Tuesday feature of the Worldly Saints blog references something I have been reading lately. The post is meant to share some of my reflections from the latest book, magazine article or blog post I have or am reading.

I recently submitted a list of recommended reading for our new church website that is soon-to-be-released. Thus, I thought I might re-post it for all my readers so you might benefit from adding to or beginning a “MostWantedBookList” list (as I have).
