I usually hate these things, but this one was kinda cool. I love to read, so this was easy. Feel free to chime in if you’ve read any of my picks.
1. One book that changed your life:
Up until a month or so ago, I’d have answered What’s So Amazing About Grace by Philip Yancey. But now I’d probably say Lee Camp’s Mere Discipleship. I could also list my Children’s Bible I read just before my baptism. Too many life-changing books to pick just one.
2. One book that you’ve read more than once:
The Last Days According to Jesus by R.C. Sproul. Sproul’s approach to eschatology — particularly the Olivet Discourse — has been extremely helpful. It took multiple reads to digest.
3. One book you’d want on a desert island:
The Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract by Bill James. A baseball nerd’s Bible. I could read this one forever.
4. One book that made you laugh:
About A Boy by Nick Hornby. I’m not a big fiction fan, but Hornby’s stuff always makes me laugh.
5. One book that made you cry:
Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls. I struggled to think of a book that made me cry. I remember reading this one in elementary school and I’ll admit, I shed a tear.
6. One book you wish had been written:
An Explanation of 1 Corinthians 12-14 by the Apostle Paul. Either that or, Instrumental Music: The Final Word.
7. One book you wish had never been written:
The Prayer of Jabez by Bruce Wilkinson. I’m ashamed to admit I actually gave copies of this to friends. Guys, please forgive me.
8. One book you’re currently reading:
The Politics of Jesus by John Howard Yoder. I may have to put it back on the shelf, though…grad reading is calling.
9. One book you’ve been meaning to read:
C.S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia (for Lucy!)
10. Tag five others:
How about Lane, Scott, T.H., Mike and Ed?
I wonder what this list would look like if I used only Bible “books” as answers. Here’s a quick cut at it.
1. Galatians
2. Lots, but I’ve probably read Romans more than any other.
3. John
4. Psalms
5. Psalms
6. III Corinthians?
7. Revelation
8. Joshua
9. n/a
already & not yet 
Thanks for the shout-out…perhaps I will reduce my nagging on the subject! Lucy P.
Hey, man. Random, I know, but you should check this out. I think you’d like it or at least find it interesting.http://theatheisttest.ytmnd.com/
Jake, thanks for the link. Some pretty fascinating stuff there. Got kinda preachy at the end, but good nonetheless. Hey, we should get our Top 10 blog going again.Lucy, I promise to read the books someday. I should be done with my D Min in about 5 years. How about then?!!?
Hey man, about the Joe Beam thing, if Sunny wants to come on Monday and Tuesday, that’s fine. Free child care, so she can bring the kids and they’ll take care of them during the lessons each night.The schedule is Sunday morning, then he goes home to Nashville to do his radio show Sunday night, so there is nothing on Sunday night. He resumes on Monday, Tuesday and concludes on Wed. It starts at 7:00 Each night. Let me know if you have any other questions. Tell everyone else about it too.
