Playing Word Association with My Own Books

It’s been a while since I have played word association with the books in my library. Here is how it works: at random, I will have a book title given to me and I will then try to summarize the content or my “takeaway” from reading that book in one word. Here goes:

• Church as a Culture of Care by Dale Johnson = COMMUNAL

• Agape and Eros by Anders Nygren = CONFUSING

• Hitler’s Cross by Erwin W. Lutzer = CONSPIRACIES

• Accidental Pharisees by Larry Osborne = CONVICTING

• Is the Bible Good for Women? by Wendy Alsup = COUNTER-CULTURAL

• Christ’s Prophetic Plans by John MacArthur = DISPENSATIONAL

• Holy War by John Bunyan = DISTURBING

• The Existence and Attributes of God by Stephen Charnock = EXHAUSTIVE

• Basic Theology by Charles C. Ryrie = FOUNDATIONAL

• 50 People Every Christian Should Know by Warren W. Wiersbe = GOLD

• Case for Amillennialism by Kim Riddlebarger = HELPFUL

• Love Wins by Rob Bell = HERESY

• Biblical Eldership by Alexander Strauch = INSTRUCTIONAL

• How to Walk Into Church by Tony Payne = INSTRUCTIVE

• Between Heaven and Hell by Peter Kreeft = PAGE-TURNER (hyphens are allowed)

• Competent to Counsel by Jay Adams = NEEDED

• How to Read a Book by Mortimer J. Alder = NERDY

• Counterfeit Gods by Timothy Keller = QUOTEABLE

• Meaning at the Movies by Grant Horner = REDEMPTIVE

• The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozer = WORSHIPFUL
