Here are a few resources I've enjoyed so far on my week-long planning/strategy sabbatical. Some are new to me. Some are for review or rereading or re-listening. Some books I'm reading in full, some in part.
Tim Keller: Should I Not Love That Great City?
Tim Keller: The Meaning of the City
Tim Keller: Love for the City
Tim Keller: Why to Plant Churches
Mark Driscoll: Leadership Lessons from Nehemiah Part 1, Part 2 (notes Part 1, Part 2)
Philip Yancey: Prayer
Bill Sullivan: Ten Steps to Breaking the 200 Barrier
Bil Cornelius: Go Big
Bill Hybels: Just Walk Across the Room
Church Leader Insights (Nelson Searcy): Momentum and Church Growth (post/article by Scott Whitaker)
I'm also doing some of my planning/strategy work at Bubbl.us, which is a simple way to do mind-mapping.
Some resources I hope to get to...
Henry Cloud: 9 Things a Leader Must Do
Jonathan Edwards: Personal Narrative
Don Whitney: Family Worship
Steve,
I love Mind mapping stuff! I used bubbl.us a little but I have found http://www.mindomo.com/main.php to be easier to use and you can enlarge the text and do more color change than in bubbl. Another one that is downloadable and free is Free Mind.

Chris, I've tried mindomo and just haven't used it enough to be comfortable with it. I've looked at Free Mind too, but haven't used it.
