Following Christ 2008: Human Flourishing Reading List

What are some of the leaders of Following Christ 2008 reading as they prepare for the conference? Here's a short list of books, drawn almost at random from a wide range of disciplines, that explore the conference theme of human flourishing.

These eclectic titles are not, by any means, a comprehensive list or even a representative one, but we hope they're thought-provoking (for us and for you).
