Lately, God has been impressing upon the need to gain wisdom from men who already possess it. This has motivated me to start asking more and better questions of different people I admire. It has also motivated me to start reading more non-fiction books by the great contemporary theologians.
I know from experience that these commitments usually fizzle away without two secret ingredients: discipline and accountability. You all can help me with both. I've decided to make a goal of reading ten books by the end of next year.
Why ten? I don't know. It just seemed like a good round number. Likewise, I think it is both a doable goal and a goal that will take a bit of effort. Upon finishing each book I'll be posting a brief review here.
This is my list thus far:
Just Do Something By Kevin DeYoung
Religion Saves and 9 Other Misconceptions By Mark Driscoll
Desiring God by John Piper
Humility: True Greatness by CJ Mahaney
Knowing God by JI Packer
God is the Gospel by John Piper
Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World - Various contributors
How Should We Then Live by Francis Schaeffer
What do you think? Good list? Bad list? What books have been meaningful to you? What books would you recommend?
