Current Reads

[klewlis]

What's everyone reading these days?

I'm finishing up Chesterton's "Orthodoxy" for the second time. Then I am going to read Wuthering Heights, The Mayor of Casterbridge (second time), and more Chesterton (a collection of Father Brown stories).

I recently finished "Cracked", which is for those of us who care for people with addictions. Before that was a biography of Eminem. Quite a variety.

I just finished I kissed dating goodbye by JOsh Harris. It was pretty good, I found it to be more geared towards youth aged kids, but still great none the less. Dont agree with everything he says but still interresting.

Right now Im reading Do you think Im beautiful? The question every woman askes by Angela Thomas. Its amazing. Im not finished yet but its really helping me come to understand my emotions, my desires and how I feel as a woman. I now look at these desires as a blessing from God. God programmed me to have these feelings and now they are a blessing instead of a nuicense!!

waking the dead, john eldredge. the second time i have tried to read it

 

[LifeInYou]

The last book I finished was 'Purpose Driven Life' and right now I'm bouncing back and forth between 'The Prophet and the Messiah' (An Arab Christian's perspective on Islam and Christianity), 'The God of the Possible, 'The Jesus I Never Knew', 'Truth Decay' and 'Self Esteem' by McKay. I can never stick with just one book and finish it through... The bookstore at the college I attend is a TRAP I tell you! I purchase one book and then with my receipt they hand me a 15% off coupon for my next purchase, and of course, I can't let it go to waste!

Let's see-"Purpose Driven Life" for a Bible study group at church. And "Rift in Time". It is a Christian Sci-Fi book by Michael Phillips. It is about the fictional discovery of Noah's Ark and an archaeologist who thinks he might have stumbled across the location of the Garden of Eden. It is very intriguing!

Hm. "Sex for Christians" by Smedes.
"Daughters of Islam" by Miriam Adeney
"No Greater Love" by Mother Theresa
"The Four Loves" by C.S. Lewis

i just read the time traveler's wife, but if you're single (which i am) it may make you bummed out about being single b/c their love is pretty intense. I loved it nonetheless. 1st book I've loved in a long time.

Oh, also just read the life of pi, which I found reallly entertaining

oh yes, I read that one recently too. I found it pretty slow at first but I really did like the story and the idea he was trying to get across (and I think he did a really good job of that at the end). Good book.

In His Image - by James BeauSeigneur

Oh, good triology! I had a little trouble getting into the first one, but once I got involved I could hardly put them down!

 

[yonderboy]

now im into Tuesdays with Morrie, and Loose that Man and Set Him Free by TD Jakes. Both excellent reads, thus far

 

[klewlis]

hey I had forgotten about this old thread.

Today I started Eldredge's "The Journey of Desire". So far so good.

 

[yonderboy]

i thought this thread could use a revival

I've been reading The Mark of A Man by Elizabeth Elliot. It's a great book specifically for men, but I read it anyways out of curiosity and learn a lot of things as well.

Another book I read that is on pending is Future Grace by John Piper.

I just finished In His Image about a month ago!

I'm one of those who never just reads one book at a time.

The Book of God--Walter Wangerin Jr.
Purpose Driven Life--Rick Warren
A Woman and Her God--Beth Moore et al
Objects of His Affection--Scotty Smith

I think those are all that I'm actively reading right now. And actually I probably won't even finish the Woman and Her God book. I'm just not digging it and I think it's probably about time for it to go back to the library.

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

Does the Wall Street Journal count?

That and I'm on day 53 of "A Purpose Driven Life". Actually I'm still on day 7, I just don't get time to read much.
