Summer Reading List
Here’s a list of books I’m working through this summer. In the spirit of C.S. Lewis’ advice to read one old book for every new book you read, I’ve tried to even out my ratio of new to old. I classify old as being written by someone who’s dead. If you read any of these let me know what you thought of them.
The Forgotten Ways by Alan Hirsch
Organic Church by Neil Cole
No Perfect People Allowed by John Burke
How the Irish Saved Civilization by Thomas Cahill
The Pensees by Blaise Pascall
Art and the Bible by Francis Schaeffer
The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Here’s a list of some books that I read this past year. Some where required others weren’t. You can probably guess which are which.
Confessions of a Reformissional Rev. by Mark Driscoll
The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis (this one is simply amazing)
God in the Dock a collection of essays by C.S. Lewis
Jack by George Sayers (a good, fair and enlightening bio)
Faith and Reason by Ronald Nash
Darwin on Trial by Phillip E. Johnson (highlights the philosophical presuppositions behind neo-Darwinism
The Hermeneutical Spiral by Grant R. Osborne (This ones a doosie)
Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller (a re-read for me, but better the second time.)
The Baptist Heritage: Four Centuries of Baptist Witness by McBeth (a descent history book)
Not a Silent People by Walter B. Shurden (I don’t recommend this one)
