Books of 2012

I had a habit during seminary of sharing the books I had been reading. In my heart, I'm not sure if it seems boastful to continue this tradition. I may need to do some work to discern my inner motives. For this time I shall, once again, share with you the books I've read and listened to throughout 2012.

J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

J.K. Rowling, The Tales of Beedle the Bard

J.K. Rowling, Quidditch Through The Ages, Kennilworthy Whisp

Daniel Keyes, Flowers For Algernon

Paul W. Pruyser, The Minister as Diagnostician

Jill Bolte Taylor, My Stroke of Insight

Manfred Waldemar Kohl, Congregationalism in America

Rod Bell, Velvet Elvis

Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle In Time (Strangley, the worst book I've read in a long time!)

John and Stasi Eldrege, Captivating

Stewart Wolff, Father Stories

Martin Luther, Concerning Christian Liberty

Kenneth C. Haugk, Christian Caregiving: A Way of Life
Ruth N. Koch and Kenneth C. Haugk. Speaking The Truth In Love

Also, this year I added a new category to my reading list: Audiobooks! When I graduated from GCTS I decided to splurge and buy myself an iPod. I have it filled up with all sorts of good stuff from sermons to lectures, audiobooks from the library, and even music!

The list of things I've listened to this year include:

The Complete ESV Audio Bible

Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man in the Sea

C. S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

David G. McCullough, 1776

Well, there you have it. I find great joy in reading. There is something about me that is excited by learning. I think this year I'll try to go through the New Testament twice since I had so much extra time driving. Either way, I'm sure to enjoy it and grow from it. If we get a chance, I'd love to talk about what I'm reading, too!

May 2013 be filled with lots of other good books!
