# Book Reviews Around the Web

I read a lot of good book reviews.  So I thought I might start sharing them.

[The Cross and The Lynching Tree by James H Cone at Englewood Book of Reviews](http://erb.kingdomnow.org/book-giveaway-james-cones-the-cross-and-the-lynching-tree/) – Even if you don’t agree with Cone’s theology, he is a good writer and worth listening to.  EBR is giving away six copies of the book.

[Kingdom Calling: Vocational Stewardship for the Common Good by Amy Sherman at The Gospel Coalition](http://thegospelcoalition.org/book-reviews/review/kingdom_calling) – “The author’s well-placed concern is that many church leaders are woefully inadequate at equipping their congregational members to connect Sunday worship with Monday work.”

[Reamde by Neal Stephenson at Books and Culture](http://www.booksandculture.com/articles/webexclusives/2011/december/reamde.html) – Have not read Reamde yet, but it is on my wishlist.

[Earthen Vessels by Matthew Lee Anderson at Books and Culture](http://www.booksandculture.com/articles/webexclusives/2011/december/earthenvessels.html) – I think Earthen Vessels was much better than the reviewer did.  I just bought an audio copy this week to re-read it.  The [Bookwi.se review](https://bookwi.se/earthen-vessels-anderson/).
