What I'm Reading -- How About You?

[McWilliams]

Wow, great selection of Schreiner articles! Thanks Cyg!



LOL, I just noticed the first on the list was from the Spurgeon Conference at my home church, Founders Baptist in 2006! He has done the Spurgeon Conference there the past 5 yrs!

The Truth War, by John MacArthur, Jr. Really is great so far as he goes into apostasy, its causes and effects! Truth is not to be had by all but we must contend for the faith! He gives a great view of Jude, the warnings and all that has to do with getting, protecting and keeping of the truth!

By the way cyg, Tom Scheriner was guest speaker last night for our pastor's 10th anniversary at our church! He spoke on the 119th Psalm and all the reasons why we should saturate ourselves with the word! It went so well with my current book read and also with our current class study, Christ's Call to Discipleship, a book by James Montgomery Boice.
I always so enjoy listening to Tom Schreiner!!

Nathaniel Philbrick's Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community and War was a good read, though I do think the author was on a few occasions more critical of the colonists than need be while giving the natives a bit of a pass. These events are minor and he is mostly fair.

I also finished the Virgil's Aeneid.

I am currently reading No Simple Victory: World War II in Europe, 1939-1945 by Norman Davies. I'm a third of the way through it and if it continues to be as good as it has been thus for, it will prove to be a great work of history.

I'm still plodding through City of God by St. Augustine and for fun I've started reading Without Remorse by Tom Clancy.

The books I ordered from ChristianBooks should be arriving anytime. I'll have: 1) Calvin's Institutes to hold in my hands finally. 2) Hendriksen/Kistemaker Complete New Testament Commentary in 12 volumes which I'm looking forward to very much as well. PC's are convenient, but there's something about having the book in one's hand.

I recently finished Clement of Alexandria's Exhortation to the Heathen and the first two of his three The Instructor books. I also finished St. Augustine's first book in his City of God.

I should finish Max Hasting's Overlord: D-Day and the Battle for Normandy.

What to read next? hmmmmmm.

The Hendriksen/Kistemaker Commentaries arrived Friday. I have been reading John & Romans. The Institutes arrived this morning and I've been reading on and off throughout the day.

I'm reading Truth Wars by John MacArthur about the emergent church movement. It's a bit tough in places for me as I have some memory problems due to long-term health issues.

The emergent church movement is truly scary. How can people believe that the church hasn't gotten the gospel right in 2,000 years as Brian McLaren has stated.

The book has a great chapter of discernment and why you don't see much of it these days. Course when you want to get along at any cost and dismiss doctrine as divisive, the Bible is reduced to having no more authority than a cookbook. I'm absolutely appalled at some of the comments I've heard at Bible study by long-time Christians who grew up in a Calvinist church.

Good book. I wish more people in the church would read up on these things and how they're affecting the church today. Post modernism seems to be everywhere in the western world these days. Thank God we have people like MacArthur who are still not afraid to stand against it.

I'm in between books. I'm enjoying studying areas of the OT that I used to find, (ashamedly), a bit boring. For some reason it's become much more interesting and spiritually rewarding as of late.

Having said that, I find myself skipping to Romans often. I can't help myself.
