What are you currently reading?

Much of my "pleasure reading" takes place at home after the work day. So what are you currently reading (outside the Bible)? How have you enjoyed those books? What did you learn? etc. Please let me know your thoughts and recommendations!

I really have enjoyed Carson's book on Christian ministry from 1 Corinthians. It is very practical.

CJ's book is very humbling.

David Well's book is very technical but helpful in understanding our culture.

The Holiness of God helped lower my self-esteem (which is always a great thing)!

Knowing God is helping me do just that!

We are going through KNOWING God during our Men's Basketball fellowship/outreach night. It is amazing how the guys have seemed to appreciate this book. It is a little deep at points but the content is so crucial: GOD is very big and we are very small.

My wife is currently reading:

1. Holiness (By J.C. Ryle)
2. Uprooting Anger (by Robert Jones)
3. Read through the Bible plan

Andrea says the Holiness book is very convicting. It talks about practical holiness (how you spend your time, what you think on, etc).
