Tagged (Is that good or bad?)
Well, apparently I got tagged, which is bad on the playground (perhaps the virtual playground is a different story). At any rate, it reveals that (until today) I haven't been keepin' up with Van Diesel's blog. Shame on me - you put together some quality posts, JVD.
And now, the resposnes:
1. One book that has changed your life: Revolution in World Missions by KP Yohannan. I don't think I even made it halfway through the book before I got on my knees and repented of my gross selfishness/wasteful use of the LORD's money. This book also opened my eyes to the native missions movement and God's actions in India, a nation with a population of 1,095,351,995 - 2.3% of them are Christian (according to CIA - The World Factbook). If my math is correct, that leaves 1,070,158,899 non-Christians.
Through volunteer work with Gospel For Asia, I've probably handed out over a hundred free copies of the book. Go to their website and get your free copy!
2. One book that you've read more than once: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Once for high school and once for college.
3. One book you'd want on a desert island: The Works of Jonathan Edwards (either volume). His material is thick and rich, and if I was stranded on a desert island, I might have the time to delve deep into the spiritual goodness that is packed into one of those tomes.
4. One book that made you laugh: The Pushcart War by Jean Merrill (or at least I think it made me laugh).
5. One book that made you cry: See response to question #1. According to an August 15, 2004 journal entry, I shed a few tears (which is a big deal for me).
6. One book you wish had been written: God Loves Himself More than You
7. One book you wish had never been written: The Day of the Dinosaur by L. Sprague de Camp & Catherine Crook de Camp. I'm not hatin' on this book because of its substance, but rather because I borrowed it as a kid from Joshua Barney School Library in Italy and never returned it. Its due date is March 5th, 1990 and sixteen years later, it rests on my bookshelf. I probably owe the Italian government a bazilly amount of lira (or I guess its euros these days).
8. One book you're currently reading: Desiring God by John Piper (my second time through).
9. One book you've been meaning to read: Knowing God by J.I. Packer (never read any of his books)
10. One book you recommend: Treasure Principle by Randy Alcorn. Short book, but full of application regarding finances.
