Do you remember when you were in middle school and it was time for summer? But then they disclosed the all-dreaded reading list? Yeah, I hated that. It made me not like reading until up about a year ago. Add on the excessive amounts and overly dry reading tacked on by college, I was just about done.
Until about a year ago when I rediscovered reading.
Here is the list I have compiled so far:
"The Me I Want to Be" John Ortberg. He discusses the pressures Christians face about who to be. Between "The me I don't want to be", The me I pretend to be, The me I think I should be, The me other people want me to be, The me I'm afraid God wants, The me that fails to be, and the me I am meant to be. So far I am about 50 pages in, and it's very good
"Mere Christianity" and "The Problem of Pain" C.S. Lewis. Afraid I'm a bit behind on my basic theology books. Or I just tried to read them before I was ready a few years ago
"Unleashing the power of rubber bands" Nancy Ortberg. She talks about unleashing the full potential of staff in churches. Really looking forward to this book, this lady is so so funny
"When the darkness will not lift" John Piper. A good friend of mine absolutely loves John Piper... so I'll see how it goes.
"Authentic Spiritual Mentoring" Larry Kreider. It has a pretty cover. haha.
"Lies young women believe, and the truth that sets them free" Nancy Demoss
"A Jewel in His Crown" Priscilla Shirer
So, it's shaping up to be a pretty good summer, book list wise, anyways.
