“There is not a flower that opens, not a seed that falls into the ground, and not an ear of wheat that nods on the end of its stalk in the wind that does not preach and proclaim the greatness and the mercy of God to the whole world.” – Thomas Merton

“My personal life may be crowded with small petty incidents, altogether unnoticeable and mean; but if I obey Jesus Christ in the haphazard circumstances, they become pinholes through which I see the face of God, and when I stand face to face with God I will discover that through my obedience thousands were blessed. ” – Oswald Chambers

Books read January 2014

My goal is to read at least 52 books in 2014 (at least one book per week). I read the following books in January (~1086 pages).

 The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert: An English Professor's Journey Into Christian Faith by Rosaria Champagne Butterfield
The Naked Anabaptist: The Bare Essentials of a Radical Faith by Stuart Murray
On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness by Andrew Peterson
Piense: la vida intelectual y el amor de Dios by John Piper [Think]
Guía para preparar monografías y otros texto expositivos by Ezequiel Ander-Egg and Pablo Valle

  1. Piper's Think was probably my favorite.
  2. The most riveting reading were the chapters surrounding Miller's Bridge in On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. As my two-year-old would say: "Oh my!". Oh my! indeed.
  3. Most pleasently surprising/personally challenging was Rosaria Champagne Butterfield's which I offhandly picked up on New Years and couldn't put it down.
  4. I liked The Naked Anabaptist, as would be expected, but it seemed like a more exact title would be  An Emergent, Postchristendom Church, in Anabaptist Clothing
