What I’m Reading

January 19th, 2010 by Dan

Nice to get back to some reading again. Here is a short list of books I am reading, and why:
1. The History of the Jews; Paul johnson. I am and have always been intrigued by their history.

2. Knowing God, J.I. Packer. A classic that changed my life and thinking decades ago, now nourishing my soul again.

3. The Pursuit of Holiness, Jerry Bridges. Another classic and a prophetic book for our time. The church needs to recover her sense of God’s call to ‘be holy, as I am holy.’

4. John Adams, by McCullough. A great biography of an inspiring man.

5. Crazy for God: Frank Schaeffer. The son of the great Christian thinker and apologist Francis Schaeffer, on his journey of faith and life. A raw, honest memoir, occasionally a bit rough on his parents, but roughest on himself.

    Hey Dan,
    thanks for sharing your reads…
    I was going to ask you what you were reading lately, actually,
    as I often scribble down the books you mention in sermons onto my notes and miss the titles…

    I finally read Knowing God this year, and want to read it all over again, it was so encouraging. It helped me to know God more…no small feat.

    Please do continue to share your reading list!
    Thanks!
    Julie
