What are You Currently Reading?

to each his own. not to mention I am sure you have never read all of Docs books, therefore you are falsely accusing. Read them all, then you have the right to accurately make that statement without lying and falsely accusing another saint. If you still feel the same, great. To each their own.

 

No , I have not read all of 'Doc's" books . After paging through several I gave up on trying to find anything profitable in his works . To be charitable --- there is nothing edifying in his many writings .

I am sorry to the rest of you for taking this off-track . Back to what you are currently reading . I am NOT currently reading P.R's stuff .

 

I figured as much. Most of his critics are all the same, having never read any of his material. At least you were honest about your dishonesty though.

Back to the thread as well, I am also currently reading Genesis and Matthew again.

 

Revolution in World Missions by K.P. Yohannan

The Smell of Sawdust: What Evangelicals Can Learn from Their Fundamentalist Heritage by Richard Mouw

Elders in Congregational Life by Phil Newton

 

I finished the B.R. Lakin book, it was an extremely good bio.

I have begun the bioagraphy on Bud Robinson, titled, "Bud Robinson: A Brother Beloved" by J.B. Chapman

 

That should have stated, "I am beginning to read" instead of the wonderful Kentucky "begun".

 

"I am beginning to read" The Gospel of John by HA Ironside (for the second time)

 

The Gift For All People by Max Lucado.

 

Folowing Jesus Without Embarrassing God by Tony Campolo.

I saw in our church's bookstore and the title got me. Very good so far.

 

The Life You've Always Wanted by John Ortberg

Just finished The Case For Christ and The Case For A Creator by Lee Strobel.

Next up...Outrageous Mercy by WM. P. Farley

 

Just finished The Longest Winter about a platoon in WWII that held off the germans in the battle of the bulge, were taken captive and somehow survived. Excellent read I recommned it highly - word of caution, dont start it when you have other stuff to do!

Am now reading a biography of Benjamin Franklin - amazing man

 

Started "A Great Cloud of Witnesses Vol. II" by Dr. Ed Reese. This is another reprint by Larry Harrison (he reprints some great older books).

It is a collection of small biographies, including:

C.I. Scofield
George Beauchamp Vick
Henry Allen Ironside
Billy Bray
Hudson Taylor
Charles Thomas Studd
Jack Hyles
Dallas Franklin Billington
Lee Roberson
Melvin E. Trotter
Philip Paul Bliss
Adoniram Judson
David Livingstone
Francis Crosby
Ira Sankey
Jonathan Edwards
George Washington Truett
John W. Chapman
Samuel Porter Jones
Martin Luther

 

Just finished 90 Minutes In Heaven by Don Piper. Very interesting autobiography...

 

I just started reading an interesting moral history of the civil war titled "Upon The Altar of The Nation" by Harry Stout. I had read through this book last year for a project I had to do but now I am reading it for pleasure. Also I am taking a class on the history of the new south this fall and I thought this book would be a good refresher tool in preparation for that class. It also serves as a nice break from 17th Century New England (Plymouth, Mass. Bay, etc) where I continue to spend most of my reading time these days.

 

I am currently reading:

Hank Haanagraf's Apocalypse Code
The Complete Stories of Flannery O'Conner
The Maiden's Bequest by George McDonald

 

Along these lines:


I just began reading a book by James R. Beller, "America in Crimson Red". I am only three chapters in, but (and I am saying this as a history teacher and major) it is the most interesting history book I have ever read (and it doesn't even have pictures).

 

Foxe's Voices Of The Martyrs

 

From Where I Stand: My Personal Testimony

By James W. Knox

This is one of the most outstanding books I have ever read. If you have any way of getting this book or are familiar with Brother James at all, this is a must get and must read.

 

Like Plots?

I'm currently engrossed in Dave MacPherson's THE RAPTURE PLOT (300 pages of a whodunit nonfiction book). Sorry, but I dare not reveal the one who successfully (and subtly) stole credit for pretrib rapturism away from one group and quietly gave it to another group more than a century ago - a fact long overlooked by everyone else!
