With my wife, we are going to go through The Purpose-Driven Life by Rick Warren; our bible study is going to go through the Exemplary Husband, by Stuart Scott, and the Excellent Wife, by Martha Peace. Personally, I'm finishing up Jesus among other Gods by Ravi Zacharias.

I'm reading Blessed Child by Ted Dekker and Bill Bright. Its the first book I've read by Dekker and I'm anxious to read more of his because this is a very good book. I am also ready Prodigals, and those who love them by Ruth Bell Graham. A very good book for anyone with a prodigal.

Stealing Jesus-How Fundamentalism betrays Christianity- Bruce Bawer.

I'm a conservative evangelical and I think I fit into the fundamentalist catergory so I'm curious to see what he's saying..It's brought up a lot of questions for for every only a few pages.



I decided this book sounded intriguing. So far, I find it very good. AND, very accurate.



Fwanger -> RE: What Are You Currently Reading? (6/21/2005 6:20:59 PM)

I'm currently reading three books. The Stand by Stephen King (for the umpteenth time) and Chronicles vol. 1 by Bob Dylan. And the Evidence for Jesus by Dunn.

Netochka Nezvanova by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It was an unfinished work, which is good because there can be no tragic ending if there is no ending. I hate tragic endings.



spunky-gal -> RE: What Are You Currently Reading? (6/21/2005 10:30:08 PM)

I just started reading "Lies That Go Unchallenged In Popular Culture" by Chuck Colson. I've only read a little bit of it, but so far I'm enjoying it!

There are seven main sections in the book (one for each of the seven lies), and each section has about a dozen mini chapters in it. At the end of each of those little chapters, there are three questions to use for group discussion. I'm tempted to see if I can get a discussion thread started for the book, but I'm not sure that the Books folder is the best place. Maybe over in Theology somewhere... [sm=icon_smile_boggled.gif]

I am reading Monster, by Frank Peretti. Before this book I read Peter The Great, by Robert K Massie. Great books!!!



Auben -> RE: What Are You Currently Reading? (6/24/2005 10:23:47 AM)

Finished Dancing at the Rascal Fair (Doig) and The Bourne Identity (Ludlum).

Trying to decide which to work on between:

The Electric Kool-aid Acid Test (Wolfe)
The Honk and Hollar Opening Soon (Letts)
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainance

They're all started but Zen is the furthest along. I finally found it under the couch. [&:]

BlowFly by Patricia Cornwell--but I'm getting kinda sick of it (the characters are becoming more obviously anti-God)
So I think I'll start reading Monster by Frank Peretti this evening.



joshbwamble -> RE: What Are You Currently Reading? (6/25/2005 12:07:33 PM)

I just finished reading Graeme Goldsworthy's, Preaching the Whole Bible as Christian Scripture and Wayne Grudem's, Systematic Theology. I am currently re-reading J. I. Packer's, Knowing God as well as Millard Erickson's, Christian Theology. I am also reading through John Calvin's commentary on the gospel of John.

I read Blowfly last year....kinda thought the same thing. Then I heard an interview by P.Cornwell, or about her, don't remember. The idea behind her books getting "worse", is alittle like following man's depavity...that eventually leads to redemption. I got the idea that while the characters are getting worse, there will be a time of turn around and perhaps redemption of some sort.

gatorgirl......i read Paul myself.....really loooooooooooved that book!!!

How r u liking it??

Rois.e



gtrgrl -> RE: What Are You Currently Reading? (6/26/2005 3:46:24 PM)

"gatorgirl"... that's funny! actually, "gtrgrl" means "guitargirl," but that's okay! I like "Paul" pretty well. It's teaching me a lot about Jewish and Gentile culture and how the early church got started and the concerns of the early church. It's a lot to digest, sometimes, but it's enjoyable when I read a little bit at a time. The way the author has the characters pegged is really remarkable.

I'm almost halfway through the book.



RosieCotton -> RE: What Are You Currently Reading? (6/26/2005 3:48:47 PM)
