Reading Report
Accountability time for all! I have been doing ok the past couple months. Of course, I'm the first to admit i watch too much TV and don't read enough... May God give us all more discipline this summer for His glory!
Let me suggest to you a book that i just finished reading today. It is titled "Assured by God: Living in the Fullness of God's Grace." The book is written by many different authors. I really enjoyed the chapters by Burk Parsons, Al Mohler, J MacArthur, and Jerry Bridges. If you know anyone struggling w/the topic of Biblical assurance of salvation this is a GREAT read. Check out prpbooks.com
Also check out my July book reviews of Spurgeon vs. Hyper-Calvinism: the Battle for Gospel Preaching & The Reformation: How a Monk and a Mallet Changed the World.

Reading seems to come hard by these days of working in the country.
I am about 1/3 of the way through "Desiring God" by Piper. I am not sure I like it...he seems to use the term "Christian Hedonist" in about every paragraph. I need to get past this and keep reading.
I also started reading "Created to work" (I forget the author) from Vision Forum Ministries. Good book about work being a blessing.
That is about it...I know I am a slacker. I am also going through some DVD's on horse training. You should be able to call me the horse whisperer soon... ;-)
Thanks Mark!
It was great seeing Joe and Carter last week at VBS.
Blessings to you all
Caleb
