The Best Book on Money

Revisado: 02-23-24

I originally preordered this book because I found Madeline Pendleton online & wanted to support her endeavor. The promotion of the book got me excited about the capitalist survival skills (I was not disappointed), but her story was the cherry on top. I was moved to tears several times and found myself laughing out loud at others (glad I wasn’t reading in public). I will not only be recommending this book to others, I’m buying multiple copies to giveaway.

Enlightening

Revisado: 12-27-23

Whenever I converse with someone about abortion I ask if they’ve read this book, because I believe it is one the most comprehensive resources that is data-driven rather than the typical talking points I hear again and again. I recommend this book to everyone as a great way to be better informed about the whole matter.

Required Reading

Revisado: 10-13-23

This was the most comprehensive yet concise apologetic on this issue I’ve encountered. I especially loved that the author was simultaneously open about his strong convictions while being gracious toward his critics. He took seriously each of the arguments from traditionalists and even managed to expound on counterpoints beyond his own. I will be recommending this book as well as buying a few copies for some of my traditionalist friends.

Great Summary of Philosophy

Revisado: 06-21-23

I feel like there are those who loved The Good Place and those who totally missed the point of the show. I assume the same will be said of this book. I loved the summary of ethics philosophy and the contemporary scenarios those ethics were applied to. Having studied philosophy, this book was a great refresher course and a helpful reminder of what guides my moral decisions. The narration is an added bonus as much of the humor is in the delivery. I will definitely be recommending this audiobook to those who are interested in growing to be better people.

Paradigm Shifting

Revisado: 12-31-19

What does one do with their doubts concerning their faith? Some suppress them deep down, but those more daring seek to explore them. Many have tried to deconstruct their belief systems. Most swing to the opposite extreme, while others venture into heresy or abandon their faith entirely. Peter Rollins provides the framework for a third way, in which the conservative and liberal arguments are truly deconstructed and a new path is built. I highly recommend this book and others by the author. I love his Irish accent, but if you find it distracting or too difficult to understand then you really ought to by the text.

She does it all!

Revisado: 10-30-19

Iliza is one of the best stand up comedians in the game. She is intelligent, quick witted, and self-aware. Her insights into the female mind are equally brilliant and entertaining to hear. Her delivery makes this all the more special since you get to hear her characters come out.

Inspiring

Looking for business innovation? This lays out the argument for inquiry quite well. Not a business leader? No problem. The processor inquiry is helpful in life as well.

Best Life Philosophy Book

Revisado: 12-31-18

The is the best non religious life philosophy book I’ve read, hands down. Mark’s insights make good sense. His advice is practical and achievable. And his stories, illustrations, and analogies are memorable and effective.

The narrator only adds to this fantastic work by reading with conviction at a perfect cadence and even adding flourishes of character voices when reading quotes.

One critique I would make only comes toward the end when he speaks of ”legacy” and “immortality projects.” There needs to be a clear distinction between these two concepts since people may conflate them. As I understand it, legacy is positive because it involves a person stepping outside of themselves in order to contribute to something larger than themselves whereas immortality projects are negative because they’re inherently selfish and a waste of effort.

Well worth several reads

Revisado: 11-24-18

As a pastor, I read a lot of books on leadership and the church. This is easily the best one I’ve read. Bolsinger presents fantastic mental models for fostering an adaptive style of leadership. The Lewis and Clark references were pointed, insightful and surprisingly relevant.

If you’re looking for a book that lays out a quick fix to your church leadership problem(s), this isn’t it. Bolsinger does better than claiming to have the solution by providing a different way to think about and approach our problem(s).
