I picked up Brian's new book last week ("Finding Our Way Again"). I'm taking this one slowly and actually doing the reflection practices/questions at the end of each chapter.
This book is very different than the norm for Brian. It's the kick-off book of a series of books on seeking God's face through ancient spiritual practices (fixed-hour prayer, fasting, pilgrimage, etc.), rather than a practical theology or "everything must change now!" book.
I found a podcast in which he talks a bit about the book:

In the podcast, he talks about the book a bit and "why" a return to ancient spiritually formative practices is good for today. He also talks (quite gracefully!) about his critics. Interesting stuff... And lastly he talks about the spiritual formation of pastors. Good stuff.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the book.
