Gotcha

So, apparently Shroomie has tagged me to answer some questions, so here it goes.

Total books owned: No idea. However not that many. To give you some perspective, I have one book shelf in my office, with 4 shelves of books, while our senior pastor has 6 or 7 bookshelves stuffed with books.

Last book I bought: I think it was probably Don't waste your life by John Piper, but that was over a year ago. I usually get stuff from the library or borrow it from other people (which would probably explain why I don't have many books!) BTW, the book was hard to read, a little too dense I think.

Last book I read: Surrender to Love by David G Brenner. It was really good. It's about Christian Spirituality and how surrender is central to our relationship with God.

Five books that mean the most to me: Well, I have to admit that I don't retain much from the books I read, although I do enjoy reading. So often I read a book and couldn't tell you much about what it said, although I know that I do absorb things from the reading.

Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis. I love how Lewis helps to make Christian Spirituality and Theology reasonable and understandable.

The Normal Christian Life by Watchman Nee. The Christian Life from a non-western perspective... very helpful.

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer. I like history, and this is the definitive work on Nazi Germany as far as I know. It's fascinating to look into the events of history and how they effect our world, both while they happen and in the after math. Took me over 3 years to finish (like I said, not much of a reader).

Your God is Too Safe by Mark Buchanan. Given to me by a friend, and just what I needed at the time, and still need it

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. I've never read Lord of the Rings, but I did read the Hobbit, and I've always liked that story. Maybe I should read it again!

So the last part of this is trying to tag others to write down their favourite books, so I don't know if there are 5 others that read my blog and blog themselves, but I'll try Kelly. Everyone else I know has already been taken, but maybe Ottmar Liebert will stumble across my blog. If so, you're it!
