Reading List 2011

While we wait on the pictures to upload, etc, I thought I’d share my reading list for this year.  I decided, after reading another blog, that I could come up with twenty four books I would like to read.  Some of them are books that I had started but haven’t finished yet.

Now, this does not take the place of reading through the Bible.  Our family is reading through the Bible together this year following a chronological reading.

Anyway, here’s the list:

Non-fiction books:
1.  Radical by David Platt (I’ve actually already finished this and wanted to read it because of all the hype about it.  Pretty good read and I’ll delve into that more for a review later).
2.  Genesis of a Legacy by Ken and Steve Ham
3.  Homeschooling with a Meek and Quiet Spirit by Teri Maxwell (I soooo need to read this soon)
4.  Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half by Steve and Annette Economides
5.  Ten P’s in a Pod by Arnold Pent III
6.  Passionate Housewives Desperate for God by Jennie Chancey and Stacy McDonald
7. Lies Homeschooling Moms Believe by Todd Wilson
8.  The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer
9.  John Calvin:  Commentary on Romans
10.  Sermons on Proverbs by Charles Spurgeon (these may take more than a month.  or two.  or years)
11.  Bonhoeffer:  Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy by Eric Metaxas
12.  America’s Cheapest Family by Steve and Annette Economides

Fiction
1.  May Cooler Heads Prevail by Teri Dunnegan (loved it!)
2.  Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
3.  Elsie Dinsmore by Martha Finley
4.  The Puritans by Jack Cavanough
5.  That Printer of Udell’s by Harold Bell Wright
6.  The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey by Trenton Lee Stewart (okay, they’re kids books, but I enjoyed the first one and they’re just plain fun kids books)
7.  The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner’s Dilemma by Trenton Lee Stewart
8.  Fury by Bill Bright and Jack Cavanaugh
9.  In the Company of Others by Jan Karon (Who can resist the lovable Father Tim???)
10.  Cottonwood Whispers by Jennifer Erin Valent
11.  Grace:  A Christmas Sisters of the Heart Novel by Shelley Shepard Gray  (every needs a little fru fru fun book)
12.  Their Eyes were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston (I’m just going to confess right now that I did not read this book in high school or college so I’m going to give it a go now!).

So what’s on your reading list???

  1. I am reading "The new strong willed child" by Dobson. Nuff said about that one. :o)

    I started reading "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan but didn't finish so I'll probably have to start over again. :o)

    I am looking forward to reading "Dear John" by Nicholas Sparks. I haven't seen the movie so I have no clue what it's about really, but the previews looked good. :o)
