2015 Reading List

Before I post the list of books that I read in 2015, I want to say how thankful I am for "gift" of reading.  Yes, I believe reading is a gift from the Lord to us.  After all, James 1:17 (ESV) say, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change."  Without further delay, here is the list.

1. "Intimate Moments with the Shepherd" by Phyllis Benigas
2. "Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life" by Donald Whitney
3. "10 People Every Christian Should Know" by Warren Wiersbe
4. "Counter Culture" by David Platt
5. "For Men Only" by Jeff and Shaunti Feldhahn
6. "The Case for Christmas" by Lee Strobel
7. "Stuff Christians Like" by Jon Acuff
8. "Four Blood Moons" by John Hagee
9. "Forgotten God" by Francis Chan
10. "Talk the Lid Off Your Church" by Tony Morgan
11. "Natural Church Development" by Charles Schwarz
12. "Just Do Something" by Kevin DeYoung
13. "Leaders Who Last" by Dave Kraft
14. "A Time for Truth" by Ted Cruz
15. "5 Steps to Breaking Free from Porn" by Joe Dallas
16. "When Christ Comes" by Max Lucado
17. "Five Points" by John Piper
18. "From This Day Forward" by Craig and Amy Groeschel

21. "Sticky Faith" by Chap Clark and Kara Powell
22. "Twelve Unlikely Heroes" by John MacArthur 

One might be thinking, "Why does he always post about what he has read?  That is kind of arrogant."  I completely understand this line of thinking and if the "shoe was on the other foot" I would probably think the same thing.  I do not post about what I've read to gloat or to be arrogant/prideful.  I do this with the mindset that others might be inspired to read more.  Also, it is an opportunity for others to possibly see a book or two (or more) on my list that they might want to read in the year to come.

I am not one to set New Year's Resolutions, but I want to read more in 2016.  Currently, I am reading 4 books simultaneously.  I should be able to finish them (all 4) rather quickly and build a strong foundation for the year.  Blessings upon your 2016!!!
