Books, Books, Books

My house is a mess! Books everywhere! My wife and I are both big readers. Before I married, her, I used to read one book, finish it, then begin a new one. Not the way she did it........she always had several going simultaneously. I don't know if I can blame her, but I've fallen into that habit. I'm reading the following books at the moment:

1. Holiness - J.C. Ryle's classic. I've been reading it for a long time. I need to finish.

2. The Doctrine of the Knowledge of God - John Frame. Excellent, but you need to be wide awake to read it.

3. Changed into his image - Jim Berg

4. Salvation belongs to the Lord - John Frame. I want to recommend this to my church, but I need to read it first. Being a reformed baptist, I gotta check out those prebyterians first. :)

Here are some books I've finished recently:

1. God's indwelling presence - James Hamilton. Superb - the finest treatment on the Holy Spirit I've ever read.

2. Exigetical fallacies - D.A. Carson

3. The Temple and the Church's Mission - Greg Beale - Outstanding. A real eye-opener.

4. The Deliberate Church - Mark Dever. Our new church is using this work as a model. An excellent model to follow.

I just bought Grudem's Sysematic theology, and I have Vos' Biblical Theology on the pile waiting to be read also. Maybe I'll get 'em all read when I retire. Probably not........
