What I’m Reading…

So, I have a really bad habit of starting a book, but then not finishing it and moving on to another book.  I kind of like having several books on the go at the same time, but I really need to actually finish them!  I thought I would tell you all what I’m currently reading and then maybe that’ll motivate me to keep at it and perhaps write some reviews on these books to let you know what I thought of them.

Mourning for the Bridegroom – Dana Candler
I just finished this book and it was really good!  It has definitely challenged me in how much I claim to love Jesus, since one measure of a person’s love is how much they miss you when you’re gone.  So how much do I truly miss and long for Jesus in his absence from the earth?

Spiritual Authority – Watchman Nee
So far, this book is totally kicking me in the butt.  It’s all about how submitting to and honoring authority is directly connected to submitting to and honoring God, who is the Ultimate Authority and has set all authority in place.

Sacred Parenting – Gary Thomas
So far I think this book would be great for anyone considering having children, as it tells you about how God uses parenting to form and shape our character.  I’m really enjoying it and there are definitely things that are touching my heart and that I can totally identify with.

Hosting the Holy Spirit – Ché Ahn (General Editor) and 11 other authors
I’ve had this book on my shelf for years and had never even really looked at it. But when a spiritual awakening came to the International House of Prayer, I decided it would be a good idea to discover how I can personally position my heart to host a move of the Holy Spirit. 

Once I manage to finish these books, here are some more on my shelf, waiting to be read next!

1. The First Judgment – Wendy Alec
2. The Culture of the Kingdom – Billy Humphrey
3. Book of Revelation Study Guide – notes by Mike Bickle
4. Until He Comes – Billy Humphrey
5. Babylon – Peter Herder with Benji Nolot
