Jake's 2008 Book List
Well, I’m using backpack to keep track of books that I want to read, so I figured I’d share it with everyone else. Here you will find either books that I am currently reading, books that friends have recommended, and occasionally books that I want. (Hint, hint! And, side note, I love hard cover when available!) If there is a book you know of that I need to read, drop me an email or leave a comment on my blog and I’ll check it out!
Currently Reading- The Bible, by God
- Total Truth, by Nancy Pearcey
- Battle Cry for a Generation, by Ron Luce (page 47)
- God Chasers, by Tommy Tenney
- Be the Change, Zach Hunter (page 63)
A different kind of reading..
Call me odd, but I like to slowly work my way though reference books of all kinds. Anything from the magazine styles guides to a dictionary. And then there are also those books that have a daily bite of something to chew on. So this is the list of books that I read a page or so of every day.
- The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage (page 21)
- The Maxwell Daily Reader, by John Maxwell (page 62)
