Books!

Not that I am a big reader like the 'bros but I thought that maybe someone out in cyberspace would be interested in some quality reading (uh, not internet based). So, this post has been some time in getting it out, but nonetheless the books are all good reads.

Maybe someone out there would like to comment and recommend some books my direction - you know, trade for book recommendations.

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis : A logical and thoughtful set of essays on the essence of Christian living

The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis : A thought provoking presentation of why Mr. Lewis believes that current (1950's) textbooks were demeaning to man. This book is striking in that I find it completely relevant to today's situation of man's presence and cultural contexts.

Let Food be Your Medicine by Sally-Ann Creed : A South African friend allowed me to borrow this while in England - good luck finding a copy here but you could contact the author... Eye-popping read on what the right foods can do for a healthy body. Makes sense though, God put us here with the right fuel for our bodies - we just need to fill up with the right stuff.

The Case for Christ (Faith, a Creator) by Lee Strobel : Three different books all by the same author. Very good investigative presentations of the physical and logical evidence for Christ. Read away, with an open mind, and ask the hard questions - you may be surprised at what you find.

The Lord of the Rings (and The Hobbit!) by J.R.R. Tolkien : If you thought the movies were good but didn't read the books, well, you have completely missed out. The books are just grand. Please do read the books and I would recommend beginning with the Hobbit.

A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson : A hilarious book on the author's attempt to hike the AT. This guy is a good writer and keeps one interested to the end. I have it on good word that a number of his other books are very good as well - though, beware, sometimes the language isn't too pleasant. I just started working through A Short History of Nearly Everything.

Wild at Heart by John Eldredge : A refreshing look at how a man is programmed and what in life there is too focus his abilities/talents/drive. Read it and think about what he is saying in relation to your own life. A good read for women too - that is, too maybe help understand men (a little bit anyway, there is no secret decoder ring for men hidden here).

The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren : 40 ways to help focus your life and the purpose therein. Don't you ever wonder what you are doing here? You know you are more then just a chance occurrence - think about it and do something with life. There is more to life then death and taxes - work isn't the answer either.

The Bible by God : Need I say much more? It covers most everything and will change you. Don't believe me - read it and find out.

Any suggestions/comments out there?
