Out of touch with church planting

I used to feel like I knew a bit about church planting. That's what I read about, thought about, was interested in. But today I read Jordan Cooper's post about the Resonate Greenhouse Church Planters Reading List. Man, I have only read a handful of those books. And I haven't even heard of most of them. I feel really out of touch. Not that it matters much, because I'm not in a church plant. But it was kinda the only thing I ever felt I really knew anything about. Of course, one thing I always thought... being in the rural Midwest United States - none of the books I read usually applied to us anyway. In fact, sometimes it seemed like I had more success when I did the opposite of what the books said. Maybe that's just the cynic speaking. Or maybe I'm backwards. I dunno.

Note to self:
The list has now been added to. And, I counted... I have actually read like 7 books on this list, and have heard of many of them. But I still feel out of touch. However I am not trying to suggest this is not a good list. I think it's a GREAT list, and I appreciate that so many people took the time to answer, and that someone took the time to put it together. I just wish I weren't so out of touch. I didn't want to do that when I got "old." Okay, back to my reading.
