Books, etc.

When I previously said that the postings to the blog would come unevenly, I had no idea that it would be almost two months in between entries! But, summertime is a busy time in ministry. So, I'm glad to be back online.

Here is a list of the books I've read over the last three months. I'm providing links so that you can read what others have to say about them. I'll attempt to review some of them over the coming weeks.

Books I've recently read:

Not Like Any Other Book by Peter Masters.

Changed Into His Image by Jim Berg. This is probably the best book I've read in two years. Very helpful in one's personal walk and in discipling others.
Why Men Hate Going To Church by David Murrow.
Healing The Masculine Soul by Gordon Dalbey.
Crushed: The Perilous Journey Called Ministry by Gary Pinion.
Raising A Modern-Day Knight by Robert Lewis.
Unveiling Islam by Ergun Caner and Emir Caner.
Chosen But Free by Norman Geisler.
The Creative Leader by Ed Young.
Only God by David Ralston. Most inspiring missionary book I've read recently. Bro. Ralston was our pastor at Southside in the late '80s/early '90s.

Books I'm in the process of reading:
Lectures To My Students by Charles Haddon Spurgeon.
Come Let Us Reason by Norman Geisler and Ronald Brooks.
Set Apart by R. Kent Hughes.

Books on my shelf that are "on deck":
The World Is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman.
The Powell Principles by Oren Harari.
Roman Catholics and Evangelicals: Agreements and Differences by Norman L. Geisler.
The Way of the Master by Ray Comfort.

Have fun in your reading. I welcome your comments and insight.
