"Fresh Wind Fresh Fire: What Happens When God's Spirit Invades the Hearts of His People"
Author: Jim Cymbala   Publisher:Zondervan
This is the personal account of how God took a man and his wife, placed them in a dying church in Brooklyn, New York and transformed the people and the church through the power of prayer and the Holy Spirit's leading.  I rarely read a book more than once.  I have read this book at least three times.  It is a tremendous reminder of the power of God accessed through prayer.  The pages are full of the real life stories of lives that were drastically changed by God.  It would be hard to walk away from this book unchallenged or unmotivated.
Other books by the author:

"Fresh Power: Experiencing the Vast Resources of the Spirit of God"

"Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science"
Author: Charles Wheelan  Publisher: Norton

My son is in the finance industry.  In the hopes of engaging in more meaningful conversation AND an attempt at understanding what is going on in this "economic crisis", I asked him to get me a book on Economics 101 for Christmas.  This is the book he got me and I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying it.  I have never had an ecomomics class so the fact that the book is understandable and relevant was imperative.  Every page is filled with examples from daily life and newspaper headlines, illustrating economic principles or philosophies.  It is actually fun to read.  I'm looking forward to my next dinner conversation with my son.  We have some things to talk about!
