Book Reading Lists
The Tuesday feature of the Worldly Saints blog references something I have been reading lately. The post is meant to share some of my reflections from the latest book, magazine article or blog post I have or am reading.
This is a popular time of year for people to post lists like “Top Ten Books of 2014” or “My Favorite Books I Read in 2014.” Since I don’t read everything that comes out year-to-year, I am more inclined to come up with a list similar to the latter example.
On average I read one book per week. That is a far cry from my father who can digest a book every few days. However, I am quite content with my reading regiment and enjoy going through specific topics of study at times[1] and then at other times, I just find a book on my shelf I have not read and start.
So without delay, here is a list of the Top 10 Books I Read This Year (in order of my favorites).
Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands by Paul Tripp
If I’m a Christian, Why Am I Depressed? by Robert Somerville
Taking God at His Word by Kevin DeYoung
Heroes in the Dark by Jack Fitzgerald
Fight: A Christian Case for Non-violence by Preston Sprinkle
Building Up One Another by Gene Getz
The Man Christ Jesus by Bruce Ware
The Deliberate Church by Mark Dever and Paul Alexander

And since our theme is book lists, here is a Top 10 List of Book I Hope to Read This Year (in no particular order):
