My current reading list is getting kind of overwhelming. The books I’m actually currently “reading” (although some I haven’t opened in weeks):

  1. The Reason for God - Timothy Keller
      Just started it. Looks like it will be interesting.
  2. Celebration of Discipline - Richard J. Foster
      This is a really ‘inspirational’ book. The guy has a passion for bringing the beautiful devotion back into common Christianity. The theology isn’t exactly strong enough in my personal opinion in some areas, but the sense of devotion is incredibly challenging and inspiring.
  3. Institutes of the Christian Religion – John Calvin
      Nothing like the classics to whet the appetite and thoroughly pain-induce the head. I actually am looking really forward for digging deeper into this theological masterpiece.
  4. Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview – J. P. Moreland & William Lane Craig
      This is actually a really cool discourse on philosophy with a Christian view. It is right up my alley. I’m already soaking it up.
  5. Your Jesus is Too Safe – Jared Wilson.
      Thoroughly challenging and thoroughly entertaining. In typical Wilson fashion, the book is lighthearted enoguh to make you chuckle at its cultural references at times, and in-your-face enough to make you choke on your own religious complacency at times.
  6. Religion Saves – Mark Driscoll
      The actual title for this one has like a “and nine other misconceptions” tagged on, but only on the front. So it looks kind of awkward sitting on my bedside table when I have people over. That legalist fodder I’ve gotten into!!
  7. C.S. Lewis Signature Classics – C.S. Lewis
      Man, I really need to finish these. Enough said there.
  8. Letters to Doubting Thomas: A Case for the Existence of God – Layman
      Only a couple of pages left on this one. A really great read that argues on pretty high philosophical levels for theism. Kudos to Andrew for recommending it to me.
  9. Jesus Among Other Gods – Ravi Zacharias
      This is a great book from a guy that I have mad respect for. Honestly though, I haven’t picked it up in a while.
  10. Desiring God – John Piper
      A more intense Don’t Waste Your Life. Hard to read though. Typical Piper fashion: great philosophical ideas, but greatly, greatly extended. Haha.
  11. Abstract of Systematic Theology – James P. Boyce
      One of the Baptist fathers. This is essentially ‘the book’ that the Baptist theology was built on. It’s old, very old. But great. Really great. Haha. I recommend it.
  12. A Million Miles in a Thousand Years – Donald Miller
      Recommended to me by Zach and Molly. Haven’t read it yet, but looking forward to getting into it.
  13. Confessions – St. Augustine
      Just got this in the mail recently. Looking forward to it so much!

I would ask for recommendations but I’m a little afraid since I have so much to do! Although I will go ahead and ask for recommendations and comments. Bring em!
