I am often asked for “reading recommendations.”
The following are some of the books I have enjoyed during the last two years,exploring the dimensions of “What’s a Questian?” I hope you might enjoy a few of them as well during the Summer of 2011.
People are yearning for a different label to apply to their Christian faith, political affiliation or important dimensions of themselves rather than the traditional ones that are infected with all sorts of attitudinal, experiential and socio-political baggage. “Christian” doesn’t work anymore in the postmodern, western, developed world. The term has become irretrievably corrupted. It’s a conversation killer. It’s as much a polarizing influence as the terms Democrat, Independent or Republican (to name only a few). I began to think about this phenomenon – intentionally. I adapted. I developed an audible mechanism when people inquired about my faith. I would say, “I’m a Christian, but…” (audible emphasis on but). Guess what? It didn’t work. I made the firm decision to move beyond being the ‘but’ in response to somebody else’s question.
At this juncture, several years ago, I began to intentionally study the impact that language and labels have on human relationships, identity and human potential. Throughout this process, I was led to many different topics and domains like genetics, neuroscience, public policy, international relations, social-psychology, organizational behavior, philosophy, theology, economics, spirituality, psychology, history, social movements, sociology, curiosity, innovation, how we learn, human development, creativity, compassion, community, consequences, courage, culture, invention, exploration and discovery.
Please note: that many of the titles recommended below have been reviewed here on this site – or you might find my review on Amazon:
The reading list below includes some of the books I have read during this journey, exploring the dimensions of “What’s a Questian?”
