Holy Ambition

A friend recently gave me Chip Ingram's book "Holy Ambition: What it Take to Make a Difference for God." Chip is not exactly part of the "emerging/missional" conversation...but I used to listen to Chip's radio program when I worked as an engineer and grew significantly from his teaching. It's funny how you get locked into certain types of authors/teachers/speakers. I hesitated to start the book because of other "missional" books I want to jump into and he doesn't exactly fit the "author profile". Then as I looked through the book I was both convicted and excited to see how appropriate it is to where I'm at. The concepts presented flow so well with other things God is stirring in me right now. I've only just begun, but look forward to sharing my journey through the book.

Moral of the story...be careful you don't become a become a book snob!
