What’s on your summer reading list? Hopefully you’ve got something good to chew on. Physical books are hard to find here (not may bookstores making a go of it in The Buj). Amazon doesn’t deliver to Burundi; Nile does, but the selection is limited (reaction). Anywho…to get something new you have to comb the shelves of others, get a generous visitor to bring it for you, or re-read what you have from a different perspective. Unless you’re one who likes to read on a device, in that case you’ve got plenty of options (occasionally I read a book on my phone, but it’s not like I need more screen time).
My current reading list includes:
Why Nations Fail – a very, very detailed look at how nations prosper or falter. It’s meaty but I enjoyed the research, the attention to history, and the theory from the authors.
The Road Back to You – a descriptive look at the enneagram personalities. Current Jost Book Club selection so I’m not allowed to give my opinion just yet.
Falling Upward – perspectives on spiritual maturity and how we journey with our faith. Wow-zers, this book really spoke to me!! I connected with so much of what the author expressed.
I would be entertained by what you are into (the Bible counts but it has to be a specific book).
The Road Back to You – I’ve dabbled in that over the last couple weeks too.
The Eternal Current by Aaron Niequist – filled with great analogy of God’s Kingdom
If you’ve got web access, check out articles, podcasts, videos on renovare.org these are great snippets, many come from great books from Dallas Willard and Richard Foster.
I’ve read The road back to you. One of the more interesting books I’ve read in awhile. I am now starting Henry Nouwen’s book, “Life of The Beloved.” I have not read enough to recommend it, but I have liked his other books.
LOVED Falling Upward!!!
Recently read (and reread some parts of these)
The Prayer of all Prayers- Sara Maynard
The Gift of Being Yourself–David Benner
I’ve been wanting to read The Road Back to You for awhile.
Discipleship on the Edge by Darrell W. Johnson – An Expository Journey through the Book of Revelation (in attempts to not avoid Revelation so much). Really enjoying it.
Hidden in Christ – James Bryan Smith (deep into Col. 3) – Just started but it’s going to be good.
Thanks for the Feedback – Douglas Stone & Sheila Heen – good stuff and helpful for my own posture towards feedback.
