This weekend I had the chance to be a part of a really cool retreat for a ton of equally cool kids. For about 4 hours on Saturday, Mike, Travis, and I got to hold a Q and A forum for the 21 college students that were there, and we covered some HEAVY topics. It was equal parts exhausting and exhilarating. I promised them I’d link to a bunch of books that we referenced, so guys here they are:
Sex God – Rob Bell
In A Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day – Mark Batterson
God’s Blogs – Lanny Donaho
The Best Question Ever – Andy Stanley
Every Man’s Battle
Every Woman’s Battle
If you’re nervous, start with God’s Blogs.
I enjoyed every moment of Winter Jam 08. Especially that 4 hour discussion when had on Saturday.
“Good Times with Great People”
Purvis
Wow – Emily, either your time is wrong, or Purvis is commenting from the future.
Hey – I wanted to add two resources to the list:
Spend the 99 cents and go buy “Passion, Purpose, and Designer Jeans” off of iTunes. Every college student needs to hear that sermon.
Also, if you are dating, engaged, or ever plan on dating, or getting engaged, or even if you’re married, go to http://www.268store.com and download the message series called “Boy Meets Girl” – this should be required listening for everyone in college.
That is all.
Saturday was awesome. Thank you for answering the 279859378941 questions we had! And thanks for being so real! It has already had amazing effects on our group! Thanks! =]
So Saturday’s discussion was incredibly. It was one of the most “real” meetings I’ve had in a time like that. So truthful. So real. So relevant. It’s helped me I know and I am sure a lot of the other college kiddos. Greatly appreciated.
now to go get some books!
