Have you read any good books lately?


Every Bush Is BurningI recently read a good book that I found inspiring,"Every Bush is Burning" by Brandon Clements. It is a book about a newspaper writer, Jack Bennet. He writes an editorial about how the church doesn't represent Jesus in the way she treats the world around her. He is not a believing man, but as a result of this article, a man, who appears to be homeless, claims to be Yeshua, Jesus, develops a relationship with him. This man tells Jack things about him, that Jack believes, no one should know. As it progresses this causes 
Jack to examine his life and motives. Yeshua takes Jack on a journey to show him the way the church is living and the way she is suppose to be living.

Jack is forced to look at why he behaves the way he does. He examines why he distrusts the church and Christians. He sees the way the so called believes have acted toward him and his loved ones.



What inspired me about this book is that it made think how I am portraying Christ. How are we as the church living and showing Christ to a world of hurting and lonely people? What have I done to another 
to cause them to move away from Christ and His church?



Have you read any good books that have inspired you? 
What are they and what have they inspired in you?
