I'm hoping to read God is Back and the Shack, but will more likely end up reading Kester's book on trucks, which only has pictures of trucks. Nice and simple.
What are you reading?

How to Lead: Jo Owens - great fresh book on leadership birthed out of the UK.
Gods Big Picture: tracing the story lines of the bible: Vaughan Roberts: Really helpful book so far linking the bible together, but like storylines by Mike P and Crofty.
Moving in the Prophetic by Greg Haslam. Excellent book. Get it !
Challenge of Jesus by NT Wright. One of Vineyard's recommended books for reading. Read another book called "unChristian" by Kinnaman and Lyons. Fascinating book!
How Would Jesus Lead Worship? by Sam and sara Hargreaves. So far I've only read the first two chapters but so far I've found it to be an awesomely inspiring book! I think you can buy it at www.engageworship.org .
"The Shack" is an excellent book. I am half way through it and find it very thought-provoking!
Enjoy your hols.
Justification: God's plan and Paul's Vision by Tom Wright. Pretty deep theology, but also hugely inspiring. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0281060908/ref=s9_simz_gw_s2_p14_i2?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0B11FHJKAG4THXB2Y3NA&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294
I'd also second Alex's recommendation for Sam & Sara Hargreaves' 'How would Jesus lead worship', that's a great book.

The Shack is a must read...

I think the Shack is good as long as you treat it as a parable to demonstrate God's Love.
Also enjoyed When Heaven Invades Earth by Bill Johnson.
Crazy Love - Francis Chan! Such an amazing book that has completely transformed my relationship with God, and perspective on everything; Life, Family, Friends, God, Church, Work. It's a must read!
I'm going to be reading 'The Shack' and 'Storylines' this summer break.

Am reading the autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr (ed. by Claybourne Carson) at the mo. It is REALLY inspiring because of his absolute clarity of conviction. He properly lived out the teaching of non-violence. Get it at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Autobiography-Martin-Luther-King-Jr/dp/0349112983/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1249646754&sr=8-1
Also, check out 'The Wild Gospel' by Alison Morgan (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wild-Gospel-Bringing-Truth-Life/dp/1854246720/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1249646199&sr=8-1) because Alison is soooo clever and her brain is the size of Belgium.
I love recommending books!
Keep going brothers x
