One day Christ will return, hopefully before then I will actually finish reading a book. I was reading CS Lewis’ Mere Christianity, I think I’ve started it about four times by now. I put that down to study Bob Kauflin’s Worship Matters with a friend of mine. In the seventh chapter he references a John Stott book. I was discussing this with my friend and I couldn’t remember the name of the Stott book. I should have looked it up. Unfortunalty I was  little ahead of him in the book and our discussion ended up on Basic Christianity. After the conversation I picked up a copy of it. I looked up the one Kauflin references later and found out that he had referernced Authentic Christianity. So now I’ve started Mere Christianity, Worship Matters, Basic Christianity and I still want to cross reference Authentic Christianity when it shows up in the mail. A good dose of Paul’s perseverance please? At least I’m reading consistently. That’s a huge improvement in my habits.

I’ve been praying for the past year for a desire to read and a yearning to study God’s truth more earnestly than anything else in this world that entertains me. Praise the Lord for a prayer that’s  being answered.

For now Basic Cristianity is a short read and I’m enjoying it. So I’ll probably journal about that again before the others.
