Leading authors of our generation
So Jon Acuff asked this question the other day on Twitter, and I thought I would chime in here on the blog.
Who are the leading authors of our generation? Basically those currently between the ages of 30-42.
Here are a few names I would recommend to have on the list (in no particular order):
1. Donald Miller
2. Francis Chan
3. Mark Batterson
4. Margaret Feinberg
5. Craig Groeschel
6. Rob Bell
7. Mark Driscoll
8. Gabe Lyons/David Kinnaman (from UnChristian)
Who else would you add to the list?
I was stewing on this yesterday after Jon posed the question. It’s interesting because I think of so many people on your list (and on mine) as speakers more than writers. It is clear that the the message is becoming increasingly more important than the art.
One to add — I have become a huge evangelist for Anne Jackson’s new book, Permission to Speak Freely. It is beautifully written and a great message.
hi, i would definitely add Tim Chester and Tony Morgan to this list. (i hope they r younger than 40 )
I would add Neil Cole, Seth Godin, and Jim Collins. Are they over 42?
