Readings

There are times in my life where I am an avid reader. The last couple years have been one of those seasons in my life. These readings shape my life, my thoughts, my beliefs, my words, and my actions. The books shown below are some of my recent or current readings. All of the books listed are things I would recommend in some manner. Some are better than others, and some I might only recommend for certain groups of people or at certain times, but you can know that if I have listed the book I have gotten something meaningful out of it. While I may like certain aspects of a book please do not take a recommendation as full fledged support of everything an author states. It is your job to read and evaluate what you read critically. The only author who has written with perfection is God. “There are no “safe” authors or preachers, outside of Scripture, whom we may read or recommend uncritically. On the other hand, there are a great many authors who are mostly wrong but who we can still learn from, if we read them critically.” (From Recommending books without ruining souls at New Attitude Humble Orthodoxy’s web site)

Hopefully I will keep this updated with the latest things that have been passing through my shelves and in my hands.
