Reading List 2005
These are the books I read in 2005.
Finished this year:
- Tim Keller: Ministries of Mercy- The Call of the Jericho Road (I really enjoyed, and was changed by this book. It's a little slow going though)
- John Steinbeck: Tortilla Flat (Timeless, a little slow)
- Franky Schaeffer: Addicted to Mediocrity (Pretty good)
- The Entire Bible (Doing this was amazing! I learned an awful lot)
- Arthur C. Clarke: Rama II (Loved it. This is an excellent read. Rating: 9/10)
- Robert Lewis: The Church of Irresistable Influence (Really Good. Highly recommend.)
- Gary Nelson: He Who Has Ears to Hear - The Galcom Story(This contains many amazing stories regarding the spreading of the Gospel to unreached people via radio stations and fixed tune radios. It was inspiring, yet a slow read. I found myself skipping paragraphs. Rating: 4/10)
- Orson Scott Card: Ender's Game (Maybe the BEST book I've EVER read. Really. I'm in love with Ender's Game. Finished it May 8. Rating: 10/10).
- Colin Dexter: The Wench is Dead - an Inspector Morse Mystery (Excellent- recommend Rating: 8/10)
- Donald Miller: Blue Like Jazz (I really loved this book. I started it last night at Lucas' baseball practice, and finished it this morning (May 11). Easy read, and definitely worth it. Amy, you'll love it. Rating: 9/10)
- Steve Sjogren: Seeing Beyond Church Walls - Action Plans for Touching Your Community (Each chapter a different writer-- makes for an awkward experience. Rating: 2/10)
- Life of Pi (Part 1 is a little slow starting, Part 2 is a page-turner. Just skip part 3. Rating: 8/10)
- Adams: The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (This is actually kind of funny, not your typical sci-fi genre... but the plot is weak, and it seems to end in the middle. 7/10)
Some of these are ebooks, which I have for Microsoft Reader. Ask me.
