Rugged Discipleship
Summary
"Connor’s book Rugged Discipleship is a fun and motivating fusion of Biblical principles, adventure literature, and travelogue, while always encouraging the listener to be and make rugged disciples. The writer introduces us to the North Georgia mountains, a wee village in Scotland, and remote areas of Cambodia - from skydivers, Chicago Bears, and a motorcycle stolen in Bulgaria. Furthermore, he has trained and discipled thousands of others how to make disciples, around the world. "He is a remarkably gifted man, one of the most gifted I have ever met. He gives of his time, energy, resources, and in his books, his insight and wisdom gained over many years of faithful service, across a wide variety of situations and circumstances. I highly recommend Steve's expertise generally to anyone (pastors, youth workers, lay workers, etc.) wanting to serve Christ by "reproducing reproducers"." (Dr. Jerry Root, professor of evangelism, Wheaton College, director of the Evangelism Initiative, Billy Graham Center for Evangelism)

And Never Stop Dancing
Summary
Dr. Gordon Livingston's national best seller, Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart, has drawn tens of thousands of readers who have embraced its 30 bedrock truths about life and how best to live it. Now, in And Never Stop Dancing, Dr. Livingston, a Vietnam War veteran, psychiatrist, and parent twice bereaved, offers 30 more true things we need to know now. Among the fresh truths Dr. Livingston identifies and explores are: Paradox governs our lives. Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves. Marriage ruins a lot of good relationships. We are defined by what we fear. We all live downstream. One of life's most difficult tasks is to see ourselves as others see us. As we grow old, the beauty steals inward. Most people die with their music still inside of them. Once again, here are Dr. Livingston's sterling qualities: a deep understanding of the emotional tumult that courses through our lives, our hidden hypocrisies, desires, and evasions; an unerring sense of what is important (he does not waste a single moment writing about unimportant things); and his own ability to persevere, to hope, in a world he knows to be capable of inflicting unjustifiable and lifelong suffering. These qualities, plus his perfectly pitched sense of humor and a voice that has been described as "more Job than Dr. Phil" (The Washington Post), add up to another extraordinary book, one which, like its predecessor, offers us a gentle, generous, and unusual alternative to the trial-and-error learning that makes wisdom such an expensive commodity.
