What I’m Reading

Here’s a “duh-ism” for you: The fact that I’m reading a book does not mean that I endorse its author, its content, its publisher, its cover designer or the retailer from whom I bought it.

The fact that I’m reading a book does mean…um…that I’m reading it. I don’t pretend to be a great reader. My reading choices are usually determined by what I’m preaching at the time. In addition to study for my pulpit ministry, I try to read for personal enjoyment and edification or to keep abreast of what’s going on in the world. But, you know how it goes: that’s often more of a wish than a fact. I have four young daughters and a wife, after all.

As I read these books, I’ll occasionally make posts about things I think are really good or really bad. When I’m finished, I’ll try to do a quick review. In the mean time, if you’re interested in a book I’m reading & would like to discuss it, I have (or I will) set up a post for each of them. Click on the book to join or even start a discussion of it. The benefit and pleasure of reading are enhanced, I think, by interaction.

  1. Hi – Your book list looks awesome – I am curious to know what you thought of “Future Grace” It changed the way I think about sanctification. I am a member at a Sovereign Grace church, so a lot of the stuff on your list is sold at my church. By the way, I live near Carl Truman and get to hear him once in a while. I have met him at 10th Presbyterian Church.
