I asked another of the most well-read people I know what were the top ten books I should read. My personal goal is to read these books before I turned 45 (a long time ago! and I actually have already read 3 of them \u2013 guess which ones)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, look at my other friend (yes, I actually have two!) David Blattenberger\u2019s list of books that I should read!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10.FORREST\u2019S CRITTER COMPANY BY ANDREW LYTLE.
Buy it at Amazon.Com<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A dramaticized biography of one of the true heroes of American History, Nathan Bedford Forrest. He teaches us to be true Men by knowing our strengths AND our weaknesses and living with them both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not light reading. Not for reading at one sitting. But a good discription of the BASICS of Christian doctrine. When first published (an instand best seller in the 1600\u2019s) it was read by everyone who was anyone. Now it seems above us. So buckle down and pull yourself up and read some meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A helpful self-help book (sort of oxymoronic, eh?) that helps pull us out of our selfish tendancies in relationships. A must for real Men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best introduction to Alternative History available. For a Sovereignty-of-God-guy, alternative history is a must. It shows what COULD have been if events in history took a different tack. Therefore, it shows you why God did things the way He did. Not that He needs our understanding to justify His actions\u2026..Also available on CD and another version with military historians is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not Homer Simpson, but the Big Homer from Long Ago. As the second fiction work on my list, it too is classical in form and content. Exciting, not glitzy. Find a good translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A description of what a Biblical Pastoral Ministry should look like. It is a call to integrity instead of popularity. A nudge to do what is right instead of what is practical or expected or increase-related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A wonderful answer to today\u2019s tendency to worship the right God for the wrong reasons and in the wrong way. Counters the Hybellian seeker sensitive approach with skill, taste and compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Okay\u2026 it\u2019s fiction\u2026 but it is the best example of modern classical literature I know of. Well written, wonderfully thematic\u2026 and the fact that the movie industry has cottoned on to it doesn\u2019t quite make me move it from my list\u2026 but it is down from #2. I classify it as THE must read fiction book for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know, a Max Lucado book on an intellectual\u2019s booklist is strange. But this man shames me with his understanding of grace. He preaches it because he knows it, I think. Read it twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why anyone would not choose the ideal, a study Bible such as the New Geneva Study Bible or the recently published Reformation Study Bible (edited by some guy named Sproul.) is beyond me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
