Comment on Reading List: 2009 by Brian

This was NOT on my list for 2009, but yesterday I finished a re-read of The Oath (novel) by Frank Peretti. It’s been 12 or 13 years since I read it the first time and I like it even more now. It’s an awesome analogy – I’ll leave details off in order to preserve the plot line, but it’s an absolute must-read. I think I like The Oath best of all of his work, and he’s created some great books.

I read The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey, finishing it just last night. I should’ve read it years ago.

I need to go by the library to check out the Tyndale book to finish it, but since the library card is in Jo’s name I have to think ahead. So far, I haven’t done that very well…

What’s next to read? A re-read of Frank Peretti’s The Oath.

Read these in reverse order, didn’t take away from how class these posts were!

Since it is October 6th, I think I can definitively say that I will not finish this reading list in 2009. But, I don’t have a reason that I HAVE to finish it, so it’s really just a guide.

I started The Soul of Baseball by Joe Posnanski on Friday and finished it today: Great book! I highly recommend that to any baseball lover. I wish there were more stories from and about Buck O’Neil. Someday soon I hope to go to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City.

I had checked-out the Tyndale book once more but because I didn’t realize you couldn’t re-check a book more than once I had to return it to the library. It’s a great book and I intend to finish it at some point in the near future. I’ll just have to go back to the library to check it out (when I can find it on the shelf, according to the librarian).

I’ve read a little here and there from Augustine’s Confessions. I may seek out a more modern translation to finish the work.

I’ve completed Clemente by David Maraniss. Great book! I’ve also read two of the Chronicles of Narnia: The Last Battle and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I know that I read them out of order, but I read them nonetheless. Both were quite good and I think the Voyage of the Dawn Treader has to be one of the best kids stories ever written. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I’ve re-checked William Tyndale: A Biography by David Daniell from the local library and am planning on finishing it this time before returning.

Also in progress: Confessions (slowly, small pieces at a time) and The Ragamuffin Gospel (a re-read (4th, perhaps?)).

I appreciate this post! So often the devil wants to 9literally, in your case!) derail our plans for good and godly improvement. Stay with your WW—I really believe it is a great tool for living a longer healthier life.

Don’t let the accident slow you down or make you skittish on your bike, either–just chalk it up to the law of chance—i.e. if you ride, you’re GOING to have falls—-not IF but WHEN—- so you’ve already had yours for this time period, now you’re good to go!

Enjoyed your post over at Gary’s!
