Stuff I'm Reading

Maybe you don't care, but in case somebody does, here's a few things I've been reading:

• Living By the Book. LBTB is a great book for anyone who wants to get more out of personal Bible Study. It will fire up your devotional time! This is a supplemental text I'm using in the C3mi class I'm teaching on Hermeneutics (which means to interpret/translate). Howard Hendricks known as "Prof" at DTS is widely respected and has taught many well-known speakers like Chuck Swindoll, Andy Stanley and Chip Ingram. (How about having that list as people you've influenced!)
• Between Two Worlds. BTW is a great book for anyone who communicates through preaching/teaching. One thing John recommends is having a resource group that reads a book a month that represents contemporary issues. In the meeting, they discuss the Christian implications/response. Great idea. This man has a passion to get the message across. John W Stott is respected world-wide by many Christian pastors. A faithful, man of integrity who pastored All Souls Church in London most of his life. He turns 80 this year.  
• What Your Contractor Can't Tell You by Amy Johnson. Becki and I have looked at remodeling or building and this book is amazing. It arms you with the background info you need when talking to a contractor or architect. If you're building something, you need this book.
• Act Like a Lady, Think like a Man by Steve Harvey. Months ago, I knew I'd be doing a series on Original Design and God's Good Gift so I picked up this book. Not really for advice obviously, but to hear another contemporary perspective on male/female issues. He's a funny guy. Not always appropriate. But I did find the book helpful as a window into another guy's mind. 

I'm looking for a great fiction or a book on a contemporary issue. If you have a great suggestion, shoot it my way.
