Read Frost and Hirsch... it will ruin you for church as usual.
The Shaping of Things to Come
Read Exiles, by Frost... it will help you draw a picture for your people of what missional living looks like.
What else? What's a MUST READ for church planters?
(Here's a bibliography from Ed Stetzer's organization...)
Shane Hipps's Hidden Power of Electronic Culture. Particularly for those of us in western cultures.
I'd also say Yoder's Politics of Jesus, simply for the perspective on community that he presents.

Bob,
I have a two part interview with Mike on my blog today and tomorrow if you're interested. It centers on his latest, Exiles, which I agree with Shaping is must read stuff.
