Hopefully you're having a less stressful/more relaxed time now that you're finished with study.
Since it's a quiet week this week, and also since my local christian book store is having a sale I figured I'd ask if you've been reading/meaning to check out any non-fiction christian books recently.
I've been enjoying reading through C.S. Lewis' signature classics, as well as his space trilogy. I've had favourites of his that I've reread multiple times, but hadn't made the time to check out other works of his til now. Just finished reading Miracles, which was too philosophical for my tastes, but still had its merits.
I haven't got much on my wishlist that I know is actually worth getting, but some that sound somewhat interesting that I'll probably try and get and form my own opinion of: - The Hammer of God by Bo Giertz - The Story of God, the Story of Us: Getting Lost and Found in the Bible by Sean Gladding - Nothing specific, but whatever seems interesting by Michael Horton, just to see what his writing is like. No one I personally know has read anything by him but an Amazon review of Christless Christianity caught my eye with the phrase 'moralistic therapeutic deism', which I seem to recall hearing for the first time from Tim Keller in one of his sermons.
Love that term, haha. Things are relaxing. It's so weird to have nothing to do though. I'm on a fiction kick more than a Jesus book kick right now, but let me know if any of those books are worth reading, and I'll check them out when I'm in a mood.
Love that phrase. "mtd" I think I heard it first from old Timmy too.
Will do, but it'll take a while for me to get through them as I tend to take my time with nonfiction, usually a chapter a day so that I keep on reading them. Fiction's different, usually quick but erratic.
