Epicenter by Joel C. Rosenberg. (Because I think Ezekiel 38 and 39 are extremely interesting in the light of current events)

The Official Guide to the TOEFL Test. (I want to go to Grad school in the States)

Taming Your Tongue by Deborah Smith Pegues. (Because I'm tactless)

My Utmost for His Highest. (Got curious because of Biblegateway and someone else's blog I follow)

The Last Jihad by Joel C. Rosenberg. (Because when I was looking for Epicenter, it was sold out)

Lots of interesting titles in the comments today. Looks like there's quite a bit I'm missing by currently limiting my reading to the paranormal genre…

A Prayer for Owen Meany, by John Irving – GOOD BUT THE ALL-CAPS ARE GETTING TO ME
My Grandfather's Son, by Clarence Thomas – Incredible!
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, by Anne Bronte – Good if you like 19th century British lit.

I was talking to one of my friends the other day that I had given "Celebration of Discipline" to for Christmas. She said, "at first I thought what a lame book, discipline is never fun, so how could you celebrate it. So I put it in my stack of books and just let it sit there. Then today I saw that it was a book that Jon Acuff was reading. I thought to myself I have that book and found it in a random pile in my room. I've started reading it and loved it." So apparently the fact that it is the book that has changed my relationship with God the most didn't mean anything to her and the fact that you are reading the book meant everything to her.

I am currently reading:

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski – its about a house that grows bigger on the inside than the outside. It is long, but engrossing.
Lovely Bones, Alice Sebold – because I saw the previews for the movie and wanted to read the book first
Myths To Live By, Joseph Campbell – Because I find it intriguing to learn about different ways people think and the ways myths influence our daily lives
Seizing Your Divine Moment – Because I absolutely love Erwin McManus and the way he writes about faith.

Its bad for me to buy multiple books at the same time because I inevitably start reading them all at once…

3.)Spiritual Leadership-by O. Chambers

Ignore Everybody!!! That guy got me to start writing hand written letters to several friends on a weekly basis and drawing elaborate cartoons on the envelopes, which offer insight into what the letter will be about. I never knew I could draw, until that day! But most people who get my letters have said I've got some real talent! It's like, envelope cartoons look better than my regular cartoons…hmmm…

I'm reading "I'm Saved, So What?" by Elizabeth Moreau – http://www.servantsfeast.org – and "The Divine Conspiracy" by Dallas Willard. Both are excellent – as is Celebration of Discipline…one of my faves.
