Books

I like to read. I am usu­ally read­ing sev­eral dif­fer­ent books at once. Being an intro­vert, read­ing is some­thing that refreshes me. I enjoy learn­ing and God has used a lot of help­ful books to help me grow in my rela­tion­ship to Him. Here is a sam­pling of my cur­rent reading.

  • Con­tent Crit­i­cal by Gerry McGov­ern — I am read­ing this book for my job. I develop web­sites for Cam­pus Cru­sade for Christ. One of the rea­sons I am doing a blog is because of this book. I thought it would be good to check it out. I have found this book very help­ful in think­ing about Web design.>

    • The Fel­low­ship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien — The Lord of the Ring is by far my favorite story. I get so much from it each time I read it. I am cur­rently read­ing it for the fourth time along with my wife, Anne. I think there is a lot of deep spir­i­tual truth that has helped me in my own journey.

  • Ques­tion­ing Evan­ge­lism by Randy New­man — I am enjoy­ing this book that gives some new strate­gies to shar­ing the gospel with today’s audi­ence. The author talks about answer­ing ques­tions with ques­tions much like Jesus did in His encoun­ters with peo­ple in His time. I have found it help­ful in think­ing about how to cause peo­ple to ques­tion the assump­tions behind what they believe. I look for­ward to try­ing some of the author’ s sug­ges­tions as I have oppor­tu­ni­ties to talk to peo­ple about Jesus.

  • The 17 Essen­tial Qual­i­ties of a Team Player by John Maxwell — I bought this book because of my new job. I am going to have to be work­ing more with oth­ers on Web projects. I have worked pri­mar­ily as a one man team for the past 5 years. I feel like I need to grow in this area and so far this book has been help­ful and challenging.

  • Your Money Counts by Howard Day­ton — I recently read this book for a Bible study that my wife and I are going through. It is a great book that gives an overview of God’s prin­ci­ples for money. We have been chal­lenged by the study and really enjoyed the fel­low­ship of our group. The study is by Crown Finan­cial Min­istries.
