Charles Spurgeon counseled his students to be discriminating about what they read, and to bathe in good books “until they saturate you.” He said, “A student will find that his mental constitution is more affected by one book thoroughly mastered than by twenty books merely skimmed.” But which books to choose? Each year in ministry, leaders find there are more books to read and less time to read them. That is why Leadership<\/em> is presenting the ten books of 2008 deemed most valuable for church leaders. The titles were compiled from submissions by a diverse group of more than 100 pastors from across the country. Our contributing editors then voted to determine the winners in two categories: The Leader’s Inner World, and The Leader’s Outer World. We hope this canon contributes to your development as both a follower of Christ and a leader of his church. And yes, we know canon<\/em> means “list” and not “artillery,” but we still liked the image.<\/p>

The Leader’s Outer World<\/h2>
\"\"
<\/figcaption><\/figure>

The Reason for God<\/strong><\/a><\/p>Belief in an age of skepticism<\/em>\nby Tim Keller (Dutton)<\/span>

“Tim Keller models for pastors how to \nthoughtfully and winsomely respond to \nthe most common questions that people \nask.” –Rich Nathan<\/p>

Also recommended:<\/strong><\/p>

Culture Making<\/strong>Recovering our creative calling<\/em>\nby Andy Crouch (IVP)<\/p>

“This book transcends the twin perils of Christian cultural engagement, lament and mimicry, with a wise and bold call to fully live out our creational mandate and go make something.” –Mark Buchanan<\/p>

Axiom<\/strong>Powerful leadership proverbs<\/em>\nby Bill Hybels (Zondervan)<\/p>

“This book truly helps Christians become more skilled leaders by offering practical wisdom that can be readily applied.” –Sarah Sumner<\/p>

Consuming Jesus<\/strong>Beyond race and class divisions in a consumer church<\/em>\nby Paul Louis Metzger (Eerdmans)<\/p>

“Consuming Jesus<\/em> sounds the death knell for a paradigm of church growth driven by the homogeneous unit principle and that measures success by numbers, dollars, and buildings.” –Mark DeYmaz<\/p>

Church Unique<\/strong>How missional leaders cast vision, capture culture, and create movement<\/em>\nby Will Mancini (Jossey-Bass)<\/p>

“Remissionalizing established churches can be rough going. If leaders are to successfully steer through the spiritual, cultural, and institutional challenges of the 21st century, they will need help. Will Mancini is a savvy navigator and Church Unique<\/em> is an impressive blueprint for renewal.” –Alan Hirsch<\/p>

THE LEADER’S INNER WORLD<\/h2>
\"\"
<\/figcaption><\/figure>

Surprised by Hope<\/strong><\/a><\/p>Rethinking heaven, the resurrection, and the mission of the church<\/em>\nby N.T. Wright (HarperOne)<\/span>

“Engaging the mind and soul, Surprised by Hope<\/em> is an invigorating read that places the mission of the church within the massive context of God’s redeeming work through the resurrection of Christ.” -David Swanson<\/p>

Also recommended:<\/strong><\/p>

The Jesus Way<\/strong>A conversation on the ways that Jesus is the Way<\/em>\nby Eugene Peterson (Eerdmans)<\/p>

“Eugene Peterson has a way of asking pointed questions but allowing the answers to surface conversationally, much like Jesus. Peterson lives what he writes, which means his tough questions come attached with redemptive motives.” –Clark Cothern<\/p>

The Attentive Life<\/strong>Discerning God’s presence in all things<\/em>\nby Leighton Ford (IVP)<\/p>

“The school of spiritual formation is in session in the mundane rhythms of life, and Ford reveals how the Spirit intends to shape us through our attentiveness to God’s movements in our ordinary life.” –Matt Tebbe<\/p>

Life with God<\/strong>Reading the Bible for spiritual transformation<\/em>\nby Richard Foster (HarperOne)<\/p>

“Foster helps us apply the Bible on a deeper level. He teaches us to read the Bible for transformation not just information. It should fill our lives and not just our brains.” –Benny Perez<\/p>

Memoirs of an Ordinary Pastor<\/strong>The life and reflections of Tom Carson<\/em>\nby D.A. Carson (Crossway)<\/p>

“In an age when pastors are told that in order to be successful we must seek power, recognition, and status, Carson shows us that God defines success in terms of giving, not taking; self-sacrifice, not self-indulgence; going to the back, not getting to the front.” –Tullian Tchividjian<\/p>
