What Am I Reading?

I thought that I would start a new sort of blog and try to write one each Monday. I will try to let you know what I am reading or plan to read this week. I will give you a chance to click on the book and get it from Amazon should you so choose, or maybe just ask a question or two about the books themselves.

On Sunday I finished a book on writing and delivering one’s own stories for sermons, classes or talks. It was a quick read and a helpful one as well.

I also hope to finish this week one of the most important books written in the area of Gospel studies in the last few years. It argues very carefully that the Gospels were written by eyewitnesses, or that eyewitnesses stood behind the writers (e.g., Peter’s experiences stand behind the Gospel of Mark). This is not only an important work but a really well written and fascinating one.

I will do my best to put up a couple of books each week that are making an impact on me as I prepare for next semester, preach through Matthew at Coral Ridge, and generally just read for pleasure. If you are reading anything great, let me know. You might also want to check out Christianity Today’s Books of the Year at http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2007/june/8.36.html where there are some great treasures waiting to be read.
