What are you reading?

The Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis. Really loved the first couple chapters, gets dull towards the middle/end though.
 
Welcome to the Revolution by Brian Tome - It's a good book geared toward people without a lot of church background.
 
As a new Christian, I have been devouring books on the topic lately. Here are a couple that I have read or I am still reading...

"There is a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem" - Dyer
"Mere Christianity" - CS Lewis
"Wisdom of the Ages" - Dyer
"10 Most Common Objections to Christianity" - Alex McFarland
"The Shack" - William Young

...and of course, the NIV Bible. Read through John and most of Mark and a variety of other areas.
 
Abarat by Clive Barker. Great book.

I just finished Twilight. If you can laugh at things, Twilight might be OK. I found Twilight's patheticness cracking me up sometimes. Writing style is horrible, plot isn't there, character development isn't there.
 
My Bible which I try to do everyday, I think I've missed 3 or 4 days this year.

"Never Eat Alone" by Kevin Ferrazzi
 
I must say that lately (i.e. the last 3 or so weeks) I cannot get enough of spiritual / religious / apologetic books and articles. I picked up J.P. Morelands "The God Question" and read it in 3 to 4 days. Plan on picking up some of Foster's stuff on prayer and Christian Discplines at the library today. Just soaking it all in!
 
^^ You would love my book collection. I should post a pic. Quite a bit of Christian spirituality/spiritual disciplines, theology and apologetics.

Currently reading "Surprised by Hope" by N.T. Wright.

How is it going?
 
With reading the book? Slow due to a lack of time and energy.
 
Here is what the inside flap says, lol (I'm not very far in where he is giving a lot of background and different views):

[Wright] provides a magisterial defense for a literal resurrection of Jesus and shows how this became the cornerstone for the Christian community's hope in a bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Wright then explores our expectations of "new heavens and a new earth," revealing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the "second coming" of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise.

Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation--and if this has already begun in Jesus' resurrection--the church cannot stop at "saving souls" but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God's kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.


I've read a couple of his other books and they have been great.
