A few great Marva Dawn books:
"The Sense of the Call: A Sabbath Way of Life for Those who Serve God, the Church, and the World"
"Reaching Out without Dumbing Down: A Theology of Worship for this Urgent Time" (maybe a bit dated, but still some great insights…) her other book on worship "A Royal Waste of Time" is also good.
"Truly the Community: Romans 12 and how to Be the Church"

As mentioned elsewhere, you did not get to Cardinal Books in Birr (on Hwy 4/ Richmond St 5 minutes north of Masonville). http://www.cardinalbooks.ca . Phil Prins has been operating from his home by mail-order and website over 10 yrs, and opened up in the old Birr Schoolhouse in Summer 2009. Their specialty is Christian theology and church history, and the phone number is 519-854-0006.

I recently read a lengthy article of Dawn's in a theological journal with which I was greatly impressed. That is my only experience with her, but I'm hoping an entire book of hers will read the same.

Speaking of confusing language... I'm working on a review for \"The Great Emergence\". So much to say...

Funny, I just read a book by Marva Dawn (In the beginning, God). Was not super-impressed. A few good bits, some incredibly confusing language (in that I can't tell if she means what it sounds like she's saying) and a very liberal use of the word "milieu."

Sounds like a nice variety of books. Let me know how "The Unnecessary Pastor" is.
