vacation reading

no blogging for a few days. no computer, just a couple books. A bible and Forever Free : The Story of Emancipation and Reconstruction by Eric Foner and Joshua Brown. I've started a couple Christian books and couldn't wait to put them down. i couldn't get past some unexpectedly terrible exegesis early on in Eugene Petersen's Christ Plays in 10,000 Places. i was bored with Ray Pritchard's In the Shadow of the Cross. i am trying to overcome the guilt of not finishing those 2 books. Now I'm back to American history. I also got from the libraryDavid Brinkley's The Great Deluge about New Orleans and hurricane Katrina and The Good Americans: The Loyalists in the American Revolution by Wallace Brown.

Don't feel bad about those books. Sometimes I buy a book and then can't read it but God brings me back to it years later just at the right time to read...I have been reading the Heavenly Man again (just as good the second time), Answering Islam...each time making more and more sense...You Can Be Fruitful in Your Isolation - an Imaginative study of Paul's letter to the Philippians and Shaping History Through Prayer and Fasting by Derek Prince. His comments on the why of fasting (not to gain something but to lose something) are eye-opening. And in the word...Genesis, Abraham, Issac and Jacob, especially Jacob. Happy Reading
