Cindy and Bill…I love the hints at the yellow fine line book. I think you both will love Your Secret Name even more. Thanks for the great suggestions. And Jim…free book….thanks for the tip. You have to love that.

Good question – fun.
Just re-read Jack London’s ‘Call of the Wild’ because I got a Kindle for Christmas and they have a bunch of classics listed at $0.00.
Am going through Tyndale’s One Year Bible again. Haven’t done the structured plan for a couple of years and it feels good.
I’m a certified strengths trainer for Marcus, so I guess you can say I’ve read NDYS about 100 times over the years and it continues to be helpful

I read Wild at Heart at least 4 times-2 personal and 2 for a class I taught. WTD had a profound impact on me when I read it. may need to do that again. recently I read “Next Generation Leader” again. It was good for me since i am in a totally different ministry now. I also found myself reading No Perfect People Allowed by John Burke twice. I can see myself reading “It” again as well as Unfashionable and some yellow book called The Fine Line. Is that latter one worth reading again? There are several others I can see reading again as well.

I hate it when I’m reading more than one book at a time! But it happens all the time. Of your reasons above, 1 and 4 resonate with me!

Of the three books you are currently reading, I have read one (and highly recommend it – Now Discover Your Strengths) – our entire church staff did this and it was very insightful. We still refer to it regularly. I have a copy of Waking the Dead but I haven’t read it yet – it just got bumped up a couple notches. And I have never heard of Who Stole My Church, but it sounds intriguing (just added to my wish list).

Right now I’m finishing up a Tim Keller book, The Reason for God. And I just received in the mail (because I won it for leaving a comment on a blog…) Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven, But Nobody Wants To Die, by David Crowder & Mike Hogan.

Thanks for the recommendations. BTW The Fine Line is on my list to read this year, too!
