I'm still annoyed with myself for passing up Surprised by Oxford.

And yes, I think anytime Charles Dickens would show up on a favorite list of ANY sort *I* am surprised! ;D

Just getting around to checking out your list - going to print this out and take with me to the library tonight. I'll be learning how to check out ebooks. Maybe one of these will be my first :) LOL - also, I downloaded Pride & Prejudice the other day (never read it yet!) and thought of you :) I'll definitely get to it this year!

Here's the link to my guest post over there. It's only the second blog post I've ever done!

My name here links to one I did at Jenny Rae Armstrong's blog. I'm kind of excited about this new blogging thing, if you can't tell!

I think I should too! ;-) Happy New Year, friend!...

I hope to get to Think this year! I actually have a copy in my possession, languishing in my To Be Read pile, among many others...

I have The World-Tilting Gospel on my Kindle. I need to get to that. And Think by John Piper. And Tempted and Tried by Russell Moore. And Bleak House...

You really should take a trip to Oxford for as much as you enjoy reading....

I'm always happy to see your book recommendations, Lisa. If you haven't read John Piper's "Think," I recommend it. I haven't finished it yet, but I will.

Whatever! :-)

Whatever! :-)

I would love to hear your thoughts on Surprised by Oxford and if you like it as much as I did!

Thanks for your visit and comment, Tim! I'm new to the Housewife Theologian but I definitely plan to stop in often. I will look for your guest post!

2011-12-30T11:15:37.648-06:00

The Killer Angels is a great book, adn you can see why Michael Shaara won the Pulitzer for it. His son Jeff carried on the series, completing the Civil War and then covering a bunch of other conflicts in American history; you might try those as well if you liked the first one.

A book I just finished that I am planning to recommend to everyone who will listen is The Naked Gospel by Andrew Farley. He writes a compelling case for living in the Spirit and not falling prey to living under a set of rules (no matter how easy they may appear). While he and I might part ways on the Calvinist/Arminian debate, this may be the most important book I've read in years.

Cheers,
Tim

P.S. I followed you over from Aimee Byrd's Housewife Theologian. Isn't that another great blog? She even allowed me to do a guest piece there a couple weeks ago (Anticipation), after she saw my effort over at Jenny Rae Armstrong's website (another great blog). You have a nice site going here too, Lisa. I hope to stop in often.

Love your list!!! I bought the Organized Heart when you first mentioned it, but I never read it. Need to pull it back up. Also just bought Surprised by Oxford for my Kindle so that I'll remember to read it too!!

I always love seeing what you read. You are way brainier than I in most of your choices.
