- In the Sanctuary of Outcasts by Neil White. A very roughly languaged but an intensely honest true story about a young man imprisoned only to find his stay shared by a leper colony. What he discovered is what you I would also find if we could humble ourselves by the suffering nature of Jesus.
- What Good Is God? by Philip Yancey. In typical Yanceyesque style, this book is riddled with extensive real-life research to find the movement of God in places other than typical church buildings.
- The Wounded Healer by Henri Nouwen. A classic which will tie your heart to the One who did heart things best.
- Experiencing God by Blackaby and King. Still....after two decades in print....if you want to find a starter-book to bring new life to a congregation, begin a class study with this one. I don't know of a group which hasn't been wonderfully impacted by this study.
- The Art of Possibility by Zander and Zander. This secular work gives even the religious a few hints at opening our minds. And, wouldn't that bless a bunch of people?

So you'd like any of those for Christmas then?
Just joking.
But I was surprised you didn't include Made to Stick. That's one of my all-time favorites that you've suggested.
