I love to read! I remember my Christmas breaks during high school and how I would take any money I received as gifts and go to the book section of Wal-Mart (sorry, no Barnes and Noble in a town of 8,500) and buy as many books as I could. I would then stay up until 2 or 3 in the morning reading. Not much has changed.
As a young 20-something I read J. Oswald Sanders' "Spiritual Leadership", a book which I have gone back to time and again. In chapter 13 Sanders writes "[John] Wesley had a passion for reading...[he] told the younger ministers of the Methodist societies to read or get out of the ministry!" (pg. 102). I have taken that to heart and a growing number of books set on my library shelfs.
This summer I have picked up a couple of classics that I am excited about reading as well as one more contemporary book.
A.W. Tozer's - Pursuit of God
C.S. Lewis - The Joyful Christian
John Piper - Desiring God
Looking forward to a great summer of reading.
Peace
