“Death by Love: Letters from the Cross” by Mark Driscoll
“The Prodigal God” by Timothy Keller
“Free of Charge: Giving and Forgiving in a Culture Stripped of Grace” by Miraslov Volf
I’ve just finished reading through Mark’s Gospel in one sitting, and am now starting with Matthew and re-reading all of the Gospels, seeking to know Christ more fully through them.
I’m also reading a delightful book called “In Tearing Haste: Letters Between Deborad Devonshire (the Duchess of Devonshire) and Patrick Leigh Fermor (one of the greates writers in the English language).
Forgot to include “Needs Based Evangelism: Becoming a Good Samaritan Church” by Robert D. Pierson. Only on Chapter 3, so the jury’s still out. So far, some good stuff and some not so good.
Just finished re-reading St. Augustine’s [i]City of God[/i]. Have been putting quotes from it for sometime, [url=http://www.vulcanhammer.org/2009/03/04/book-review-st-augustines-city-of-god/]my review for it is here[/url].
A reread as I do most Eastertides, Death on a Friday Afternoon:
Meditations on the last Words of Jesus from the Cross by the late
Fr Richard John Neuhaus.
“Christ in the Passover” is an amazing book, it really opens the picture up in terms of the Jewishness of the Last Supper and the sacrificial death of Jesus.
Have you had a chance to see the presentation Jews for Jesus does on this? It’s also amazing!
Reading and “doing” “The Love Dare” (as featured in the movie, “Fireproof”) by Kendrick and Kendrick; and “Mad Church Disease: Overcoming the Burnout Epidemic” by Anne Jackson.
PS: Also listening to on CD the four Gospels (translated into Scots by William Laughton Lorimer) and read by Tom Fleming. Just finishing Matthew today.
