What Books Are You Reading?

I recommend for the apologetical mind:

Understanding the Times by David A. Noebel

Christian Apologetics by Norman Geisler

Faith and Reason by Ronald Nash

 

Passion and Purity by Elizabeth Elliot
and
Holy Bible by God

 

Just Finished Baptism and the covenant of Grace by Jewett. Good books for any Refromed Baptist to read. Started Future Grace by Piper.

*A Call for Discernment* by Jay Adams

 

Bugman, Jewett's book is on my "to read list." Thanks for the confirmation.

I think I have the entire set of the affordable "Puritan Paperbacks" series and I read/reread them over and over as a devotional of sorts. I think it was Tozer who first turned me to the idea that good christian literature is the kind that makes you hunger more for the source. That's what the Puritans do for me. They're affordable too.

I'm also a military history fanatic so I generally have some historical work going at the same time. Right now, going on the second read of
_The Great War in Modern Memory_ by Paul Fussell. Also, trying to find time to read the Clancy/Zinni book, _Battle Ready_.

 

I've looked at the Puritian Paperbacks before and started to druel

I definitly want to get them, but there is jsut so much I want to read. I jsut finished reading Sproul's "Willing To Beleive" and was impressed (never did finished Piper's Future Grace. I know what he's saying very well so I had troubles getting into it) So now after reading Willing To Beleive I want to read Luther's Bondage of the will and Edward's Freedom of the Will...Sigh, so many books so little time and money...

Currently reading 'Think Biblically' by John MacArthur with the Master's College Faculty.

 

I am in the midst of reading "Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan.

 

I just started reading Why I Stopped Listening to Rush : Confessions of a Recovering Neocon by David Alan Black tonight. I am on chapter three, and have really enjoyed this book so far.

 

I finished Why I Stopped Listening to Rush last week, it was a great book!

I am now starting To Train Up A Child by Michael and Debi Pearl. I read the first chapter today, it looks to be a great book, and will hopefully be a blessing to my wife and I, and to our children.

 

I am almost finished with The Covenant by Beverly Lewis. I can't wait to read the other two books in this series.

 

I'm reading "sola scriptura" by a host of authors and "Hard to Believe" by MacArthur.

 

Is it really "hard to believe?"

 

Finally getting around to re-reading "Desiring God" by John Piper.

 

I read a couple books by Mark Buchanan those where really good. try Your God is Too Safe or the Holy Wild or Things Unseen. Excellent!
Try the Jesus Freaks books put out by Voice of the Martyrs excellent books.
However Do not read anything by Rick Warren, or Bruce Wilkinson. Ugh1

discerningreader.com is the place to go for books!
and for music $9 a cd. Thats a good deal!

 

Just finished reading *redeeming love* by Francine Rivers. I bought it ages ago after continual badgering by my girlfriend. I'm glad she did badger me now...its a great book and although I was skeptical at first (due to it being somewhat of a romance novel) I found it hard to put down. It's a fictional book based on the story of Hosea, and its set in the 1800's. A great book for christians whether woman or man.

 

I just finished reading Stories of the Heart by Alice Gray, and i'm starting More stories from the Heart today

Wonderful and ISPIRATIONAL books! I highly recommend them if you are looking for upliftment.

 

The Bible again, I try to get cover to cover twice yearly.Just finished Great Doctrines of the Bible by Evans,Major Bible Prophecies by Walvoord. Recently read biographies of Billy Sunday,C.H. Spugeon,Jonathan Edwards,& D.L. Moody.
Now I'm re-reading Things to Come by J. Dwight Pentecost and Wilmington's Guide to the Bible.
