Just in case you don't already, keep up-to-date with Byron Borger's (i.e., Hearts and Minds) book reviews. He has two recent postings on new Spiritual Formation books, see here and here (Note:  2 InterVarsity Press books highlighted).

For many of us, the summer provides an excellent time for traveling with God as an individual and a family (not just the earthly family but also the family of God). In the midst of all of the talk regarding church splits, the economy, global warming, oil, politics, and war, make sure you focus first on following Christ and not the spirit of age/day.  If one's schedule doesn't afford the space to read from a book, find a book on tape/CD for the traveling in the car (whether to/from work or in travel).

P.S. I'm currently reading/applying Roger Cross' How We Make Our Kids Angry (IVP, 2008). More on that later.
