Current reading . . .
In an effort to encourage others to read, I share what I’m currently reading.
1 Samuel: Looking on the Heart
Dale Ralph Davis, 2007, Christian Focus
A practical, non technical explanation of 1 Samuel, chapter by chapter, based on careful exegesis. Davis is currently a pastor and was formerly an Old Testament seminary professor. This is a delightful book – spiritually rich and a pleasure to read.
The Cross and Christian Ministry: Leadership Lessons from 1 Corinthians,
D.A. Carson, 2004 [1993], Baker
Through his exposition of sections of 1 Corinthians, Don Carson explains what it means to make the cross central in preaching and ministering to God’s people. I’m enjoying working my way through this book.
God’s Continent: Christianity, Islam, and Europe’s Religious Crisis,
Philip Jenkins, 2007, Oxford University Press
This is the third of Professor Jenkins’ Future of Christianity trilogy (along with The Next Christendom, and The New Faces of Christianity: Believing the Bible in the Global South). Jenkins arrives at some surprising and controversial conclusions.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey (audio book)
I first read this classic many years ago. Now I am listening to the audio version.
