Books I Plan to Read This Year
January 21, 2010
Every year I read a pile of books, some from friends, others for ministry and preaching, and still others that really peak my interest. Here is my pile of books for 2010 with some comments:
The Power of His Presence by Ray Stedman - I'm currently reading this--its a devotional book compiled from his sermons, which were always expository, deep, and convicting. I regularly read his sermons at raystedman.org.
Love and Respectby Emmerson Eggerich - This is long overdue, but a terrific marriage book. I'm currently reading it. Its an amazing exposition really of the well-known but often misapplied instruction in Ephesians.
Dug Down Deep by Joshua Harris - I've always enjoyed Josh's writing, preaching, and ministry. I can't wait to read his fresh take on the importance of solid theology.
If God is Good - by Randy Alcorn - Nobody tackles tough, unexplored issues with biblical clarity like Randy Alcorn. I thoroughly enjoyed Heaven.
Forgotten God - Francis Chan - I've not ready anything by Chan, but have heard a few of his sermons. And a lot of people are telling me he writes with thought-provoking clarity.
Franklin and Winston - Jon Meacham - Ditto, this is a relationship that kept the Allied Powers strong.
Who knows if I'll get to all of these and honestly I'll probably read other books not here that I haven't thought of. I'll probably sprinkle a few novels in there as well.
