I am reading too many books!! So as form of repentance or therapy, I’m making a list of them all and why I am reading them.
To Be Told: Know Your Story, Share Your Future (Dan Allender) – Written by the founder of Seattle School of Theology, Masters in Counseling Program. I’m interested in the program so I’m reading this to better understand his approach
Jesus Rediscovered (Malcolm Muggeridge) – Referenced by Steve Brown when he preached at Northland last month
Love Does: Discover a Secretly Incredible Life in an Ordinary World (Bob Goff) – Recommended by Travis and Leslie Rathe
Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness (Richard Thaler) – Mentioned in the Harvard Business Review – Daily Alert
Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think (Brian Wansink) Not sure where I heard about this book but I’ve been doing too much Mindless Eating
A Call To Spiritual Reformation: Priorities from Paul and His Prayers (D. A. Carson) – Recommended by a professor at Reformed Theological Seminary as the best book on prayer. Using this as my daily devotional
Blind Justice (Anne Perry) – Latest William Monk mystery
The Heart Mender: A Story of Second Chances (Andy Andrews) One of my favorite short story with a big point authors.
The Forged Coupon (Short stories by Leo Tolstoy) – Malcolm Muggeridge calls him one of the greatest Christian writers of all time. Curious. The only book of Tolstoy’s i have read is the first section of Anna Karenia and I stopped reading because ungodly behaviors seemed to be the theme of the book.
Books like desert are best in moderation. And right now I am way past moderation. Need to work my way back to a more reasonable number, like two or three. But these are all good books and I’ll blog about several of them in the next few weeks.
