    			  A good book for a non-Catholic to read.  I feel I understand a lot more about why Mary and icons are a big deal to Catholics along with a lot of their famous landmarks.  The third chapter about the humanity of Jesus was really good.

    			  Book seemed predictable and cheesy at points.  Also was kind of preachy.  In spite of this, book deals with some good themes and really makes you think about our perceptions of who God is.  Glad I didn't stop reading half way through.  Well worth the read.

  		<br/><br/>				
  		Master Plan of Evangelism by Robert Coleman.  This book is more of a method/ministry philsophy type book.  His approach is really key to small group multiplication and how to use your time most effectively.  <br/><br/>Good Christian counseling books can also be helpful but I can't think of any that are helpful and Biblical offhand.  Danny Meyer's Gospel of Wholeness is the only thing I have found helpful here (local pastor in Columbus, OH area, go to <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.vineyardcdc.org">www.vineyardcdc.org</a> and there should be several sermons where he presents this material).
