Book recommendations
May 6th, 2008Just wanted to pass along a few recommendations for books that I’ve read recently. The first is Tim Keller’s “The Reason for God.” Keller does an outstanding job of answering some of the most common objections people have to Christianity. My highlighter worked overtime on this book.
The second is “Instructing a Child’s Heart” by Tedd and Margy Tripp. The book is a follow-up to the Tripps’ excellent “Shepherding a Child’s Heart.” With these two books, the Tripps have been an incredible blessing to Christian parents who take seriously their task to raise godly children.
And just for fun, I read Ben Mezrich’s “Bringing Down the House” — the story of the MIT blackjack team members who used their math skills to win millions in Vegas. Simply fascinating. I couldn’t put it down.
Keller is a stud. It took me awhile to get through “The Reason for God” because I kept having to put it down and think through what I just read. I highly recommend it as well.
