I got a good bit of reading done over the weekend. Mostly out of Eugene Peterson's Working the Angles. Good stuff. I'm not a book critic, but I think it could have been shorter. There are some really strong points in the book, but they are largely supported with some so-so filler stuff. Maybe it's just me. The introduction alone, though is worth the price of the book. So solid, so dead on, so needed. And given that this book was written in 1987, it's one of the more prophetic pieces of writing I've ever read. Ranks right up there with The Spontaneous Expansion of the Church by Roland Allen.
