Reading?

[FundamentalistJohn]

Besides for Scripture what is everybody reading right now?

I am reading "Hard to Believe" by John McArthur. Next up is "The Incomparable Christ" by John Stott.

Some CS Lewis. Screwtape Letters and Mere Christianity.

Outside of the Bible, the two best books I ever read were "Prayer, Asking and Receiving" by John R. Rice; and "Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan.

For study: "Types of the Levitical Offerings", by Thomas Newberry

For recreation: "One Second After", by William Forstchen

I have both and I agree both are excellent.

I enjoy Lewis although I have issues with the final chapter of Mere Christianity.

What is your opinion of them so far?

Both are excellent.

 

[FundamentalistJohn]

Both are excellent.

I'll have to look into them.

 

[Bro_Sam]

I'll have to look into them.

My only complaint about "One Second After" is that it ends rather awkwardly and, as a former college professor, I find his faith in his college students a little amusing.

But overall, it's very good. Very thought provoking.

I'm currently reading the works of J.R. Miller. It's a large body of work, and I'm really enjoying it. J.R. Miller was probably known best for his ministry to troops in the American Civil War during the 1800s. He was also an accomplished author, and his Christian materials are Biblical and beautiful.

By the way, I have also enjoyed some of the materials mentioned in this thread. This is a great idea for a thread. Thanks everyone.

That sounds very interesting Tom.

I am currently reading James R. White's book "Scripture Alone". For secular knowledge, I'm reading "The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression", by Amity Shlaes. In addition, I am studying the Book of Ecclesiastes and every commentary and resource I can lay my hands on, which is a lot considering how many books, paper and electronic, my wife and I have.

It's rare I read christian related books other than the bible, but my friend gave me one recently and I've been reading that - End Time Events by Charles Capps. Also been reading the new ESV Study bible my boyfriend got me for my birthday.
