Tag 5 more people and pass it on!

I’ll start:

Total books I have ever owned:

I can’t even begin to count them - there are over 350 alone in my office, plus we have a room designated as the library that have to equal close to 1000. So in my lifetime, I will have to estimate about 5 thousand.

The last book I bought:

I just spent my children’s inheritance at the Pastoral Care Ministry School. I bought 32 books. Some for personal growth/ministry and some for school with the kids.

Highlights:

Man’s Search for Meaning - Viktor E. Frankl
The Healing Gifts of the Spirit - Agnes Sanford
Christ in the Psalms - Patrick Henry Reardon
Prophetic Untimeliness - A Challenge to the Idol of Relevance - Os Guiness
Orthodoxy - G.K. Chesterson
The Royal Way of the Cross - Francios Fenelon
Abandonment to Divine Providence - Jean-Peirre De Causade
Faith, Hope, Love - Josef Pieper
Abuse of Language - Abuse of Power - Josef Pieper
The Evidential Power of Beauty - Thomas Dubay
Authenticity - Thomas Dubay
The Christian Imagination - Thomas C. Peters
Feathers of a Skylark - Jeffery Satinover, MD
The Battle for the Trinity - Donald G. Bloesch
Is the Bible Sexist? - Donald G. Bloesch
The Flight From Woman - Karl Stern

Last book I read:

I just finished Listening Prayer by Leanne Payne. Actually, it was the third or fourth time I’ve read it. Before that I read Mad Cowboy by Howard Lyman and The Food Revolution: How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and Our World by John Robbins.

Now I am reading The Quest for the Radical Middle by Bill Jackson, Crisis in Masculinity by Leanne Payne, and Sealed Orders, an autobiography of Agnes Sanford.

5 books that mean a lot to me:

Although there are 10 or 20 books that mean a lot to me, these are the books that have caused significant paradigm shifts along my journey:

Inside Out - Larry Crabb - started my journey from christianeese to wholeness
Restoring the Christian Soul - Leanne Payne
The Three Battlegrounds - Francis Frangipane
The Great Divorce - C.S. Lewis
The Sacred Romance: Drawing Closer to the Heart of God- Brent Curtis and John Eldredge

Taggin’ five people: Nick, Jen, Dan, Kari, Amy, and I am looking forward to their posts!
