Recommended Summer Reading

Looking for a great book to read this summer? Try Ched Myers, "Say to This Mountain - Mark's Story of Discipleship" (available at Amazon.com by clicking on the title). Myers is an ecumenical activist with a passion for peace, justice and radical discipleship. This book is an easier treatment of his commentary on Mark, "Binding the Strongman", which is a killer read...but given his treatment of the gospel as a political document he backs up his thesis with tons of research. Anyway, Say to This Mountain, is an easy read from the standpoint of pace, and difficult from the standpoint of discipleship. It is challenging and fresh, and a great voice for our time.

Myers is a regular contributor to Sojourners magazine and member of Bartimeus Cooperative Ministries, a circle of mutual aid for non-traditional gospel ministries.
