|  | The Unnecessary Pastor by Eugene H. Peterson, Marva J. Dawn, Peter Santucci
Pastors are strategically placed to counter the culture. No other profession looks so inoffensive but is in fact so dangerous to the status quo. Their weapon? A gospel that is profoundly countercultural. But standing firm in today's world isn't easy. Powerful forces, both subtle and obvious, attempt to domesticate pastors, to make them, in a word, unnecessary. In this volume two of today's most respected authors help pastors recover their gospel identity and maintain a pure vision of Christian leadership. Eugene Peterson and Marva Dawn here reconnect pastors with the biblical texts that will train them as countercultural servants of the gospel. In his section of the book, Peterson explores Romans, 1 and 2 Timothy, and Titus, drawing from them the correct view of pastoral identity. In turn, Dawn looks to Paul's letter to the Ephesians for instruction for churches seeking to live faithfully in today's world. AUTHOR: Eugene H. Peterson, Marva J. Dawn, Peter Santucci

 | The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life by Thomas Moore
Thomas Moore advocates an engaged enchantment with specific aspects of daily life such as clothing, food, furniture, work, architecture, ecology, language, and politics. He describes the renaissance these can undergo when there is genuine engagement with beauty, craft, nature, and art in both private and public life. Moore claims that the spiritual and soulful values of life are best exemplified by things such as enchanted nature, a fantasy-filled childhood, intimate neighborhoods and homes, and a public life dedicated to the needs of the heart.
