A professor of mine was once asked “Which version of the Bible is best?” His response was, “Whichever version you will read.”

Thanks for all the book lists. These are great. Read a little N.T. Wright and I’m sure he will soon make your list too. Particularly his “Simply Christian”.

“Managing by Storying Around” is the buzzword these days and I definitely need to check out the book by Lori Silverman and others….

Thanks a zillion for sharing this list.

Which reminds me, the single best 3-hour bravura performance (I think she called it a workshop) I have ever heard is called “Word by Word” and was given somewhere back in the late ’90’s by Anne Lamott. It’s available still on Amazon.com – http://www.amazon.com/Word-Anne-Lamott/dp/1880717573

If you care at all about how to write, you should follow Mark’s advice and read both the Stephen King book and Anne Lamott’s book. But, if you just want to be entertained, challenged, charmed and amazed – you must find a way to listen to this workshop by Ms. Lamott.

You’ll also learn that you don’t have to have PowerPoint, videos or 3D animation to keep people riveted to their seats for 3 hours. You just have to be a genius like Anne Lamott (or, ok, like Mark Sanborn – after all this is his blog).

Run, don’t walk, to get this audio of an old, moldy workshop – and then sit back and enjoy.

Thanks a whole lot, Mark. Now, I have even more books to feel guilty about not reading. I do try, I really do. But, what’s a body to do when books like “The Lost City of Z” are just out in paperback and Amazon.com has virtually every old Laurie Colwin novel ever published? Not to mention new Michael Connelly mysteries, Anita Shreve novels and on and on. You see my problem, don’t you? Don’t you?!!

Most of the books in this list are my favourite too. And right now, “MOJO” tops my list also!

Mark,love #2 about being a conduit and the visual of being a river is great. Insecure leaders may stop at point 1 of investing in their own growth. They learn and hoard. This is a ‘dam’ of sorts… Keeping the flow from downstream. I will work to be a river!
