What are you reading now?

I am currently reading, Courage is the Key by Alexander Klein. It is an old book in my personal library dating back to 1953. It covers well known people who suffered handicaps and how they overcame the problems that go along with handicaps. A very interesting book.

Cheers,

Jim

 

I am reading Hail, Holy Queen by Scott Hahn, trying to get a better understanding of the Catholic's view of Mary.

I am currently reading The True Book about David Livingstone by Richard Arnold. Published in London by Frederick Muller LTD., 1957.

David Livingston's life story is fascinating!

 

Okay...

I finished The True Book about David Livingston about 3:30 AM this morning, so now I'm on the hunt for another good book.

 

Now I have started reading Stonewall Jackson: The Man, The Soldier, The Legend, by James I. Robertson, Jr., Published in New York by MacMillan Publishing USA, 1997.

 

I am now reading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis.

John Boswell, Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe, which I've heard about for years and finally found a cheap copy of; an extremely valuable contribution to the history and exegesis of marriage. Highly recommended for those not allergic to erudition and footnotes.

I am currently reading The Christian Counselor's Manual by Jay Adams, The Discipline of Grace by Jerry Bridges, and Instruments In The Redeemer's Hands by Paul David Tripp. All of these are for my summer class.

In the Lord Jesus Christ,

The Inescapable Love of God, by Thomas Talbott.

 

Finishing up a book for homeschooling moms (though I HIGHLY recommend it for non-homeschooling moms as well) called Homeschooling with a Meek and Quiet Spirit. Will be starting a new book by Nancy Leigh DeMoss called Lies Women Believe and the Truth That Sets Them Free.

A Japanese translation of In Sam We Trust: The Untold Story of Sam Walton and How Wal-Mart is Devouring America, and Sol Steinmetz's Yiddish and English: The Story of Yiddish in America, and also a Frisian-English Dictionary.

Calvin Miller's new book, Miracles and Wonders and Colson's Being the Body.

 

I'm also reading two devotional books by Don Carson. The books are based on the readings
in the McCheyne Bible Reading Calendar which
I've used for years. I'm reading from the
NIV and when I read through the Psalms the
second time I'm going to use the ESV. Carson's
books are in two volumes under the same title:
For the Love of God .

 

Last night I started "Into The Future" by Elmer Towns and Warren Bird.
"A hands-on workbook that shows what your church will look like in twenty years-and how to get there."
Just for fun.
Next in line is "Toward a just and caring society", but it looks kinda boring so my backup is, wait, can I get banned for this? It's a book of people writing about the writings of Pope John Paul ll.
When I'm finished I might write about the writers who wrote about his writings.

I'm reading for the second time-"God And The Nations" by Henry M. Morris (Institute For Creation Research) and also continuing (slowly) in "George Whitefield Sermons-Vol.1"(Pietan Publications).
Blessings!

 

Just finished 'Let's Roll' by Lisa Beamer, widow of Todd Beamer who was killed in the crash of United flight 93 on 9/11. I was pleased that she wrote so confidently of their faith.

Currently reading 'Be Your Best: The Family Manager's Guide to Success' by Kathy Peel.

Julia, I have 'Homeschooling with a Meek and Quiet Spirit'. It's a favorite of mine that I return to often.

Just started re-reading The Wandering Unicorn by Manuel Mújica Lainez. I would really like to read it in Spanish (original title simply El Unicórnio but it seems to be nearly impossible to come by in the original. If by some bizarre coincidence some Baptist-Boarder owns it in Spanish, and is no longer interested in possessing or reading it, I'd be very much interested in a PM about possible transfer of ownership.
