I didn't really read that much in 2012, but here's my top 3 from books oldish & newish that i read during the year:
[1] Brennan Manning's "The Furious Longing Of God".
[2] Douglas Bond's "The Mighty Weakness of John Knox".
[3] Matt Chandler's "The Explicit Gospel"
What 3 books stand out among those you read in 2012?
