Don't forget: Read the Bible more than any other book, and not all of these books are recommended! Some are quite the opposite!
This is part of a long standing tradition (I have my lists saved from 1999 on).
Here are the lists for 2007 (first half, second half), 2006 (first half, second half), and 2005 (first half, second half).

Any thoughts on T. Addington's book on church govt?
I thought it had a lot of good things in it.
It's not so much a book on polity as leadership, however. What elders/leaders do. Or shouldn't do, as the case may be. He does affirm congregationalism in it, but of the strongly elder-led variety.
It bears some of the marks of being self-published. I think it could have been a much shorter and then better book and it seems sometimes divorced from the "real world" at least, my real world--but I learned a lot from it and am trying to implement some of what I've learned.
You can get a real feel for it by reading T.J.'s blog: http://leadingfromthesandbox.blogspot.com/. That blog seems to be mostly brief excerpts from his book(s).
thanks. It is on my summer read list. not surprised at the strong elder style of congregationalism
