A major thank you goes out to all who helped put on this past weekend’s conference in New York! We honestly could not be more pleased with how it all went. Recordings and video should be available soon — hopefully by the end of the week. Until then, here’s this year’s book table, with a couple of embarrassing omissions and logistical impossibilities rectified. Every year it’s a little different, depending on speaker and theme, but overall, it’s safe to say that it doubles as something of a “Mockingbird Reading List.”

Watch this space for more details.

Mockingbird has the best book table! Awesome mix guys, and the new devotional is amazing!
It just makes me sad on the inside that I couldn’t make it…
…but its probably a good thing because I would have spent a whole paycheck at that book table. Books are one of the ways, I could see myself going into poverty…
