Current Reads: Deadly Viper Character Assassins, Catholicism and Fundamentalism, and Going All the Way

Just those I'd throw a blog out there with the books I have on my reading list at this time. And yes, I am readint them all, slowly I might ad. So, here are the books, a little description, a note or link or so. Enjoy....I am!

Our leadership team at The Community Fellowship is reading Deadly Viper Character Assassins which is a great little book about integrity and godliness. Learn more at this website: http://www.deadlyvipers.org/

A buddy of mine gave me this book a couple years ago, and I have just started it. Interesting read with lots of big words and thoughts. I am finding some stuff that I have not thought about.

Craig Groeschel is pastor of Lifechurch.tv and writes a blog called Swerve. The book is about relationships that work. Written for people headed into or out of marriage, or for those trying to make sense of the one they are in. I am considering use this as a tool for pre-marital counseling. By the way, my brother Steve and his family go to life church, and I am look forward to visiting this Christmas.

So, that is what I am reading and carrying around with me these days. I read slow and sometimes have to re-read to get the point, but you know, God has some big stuff for us in some corners of books and on the avenues of life. It is my thought and God's call to live life the best we can.

Lets live it up and get as many people excited about life as we can!

The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit. Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people. It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
