My book journey

sermonindex Oct 23, 2005

I resently finished reading The Practice of the Presense of God by Brother Lawerance and The Calling by Brother Andrew Lawerance's book was kinda boring. But for the 'nugget' that was in it. It was worth the reading. "Think of God in EVERY SINGLE THING YOU DO". I do remember past times in my life when I was ablaze to the world 24/7 (cloud by day, fire by night) and the reason for that was 'thinking of God in everything'.Andrew's book is a youth edition to the follow-up of God's smuggler. It opened my eyes to the persecution to even give someone a bible. 1 million to china, 40 million ? (maybe more) to russia.I just resently bought some small biographies on the Salvation Army founders and also Charles Spurgeon. A good bio on Watchman Nee (never heard of him till this site). Watchman Nee's book normal christian life. And Ravinhill's Why Revival's Tarry. I never knew the Christian book store had any historical books of the past. They had few, alot on Tozer, Lewis, and Spurgeon.I looked over Wilkerson's The Cross and a Switchblade, I was shaking when I read this book. Probly cause I was squated to look at it. But it hit me when I looked the book 'wow... all these people..... all wonderful.... i wish i would've known about them a while back'.Together it was 20$ for the 5 books i bought. Cheap!! Hehe, i had some coupons! (i basically got 3 for free)I am also reading Wild at Heartby John Eldgridge. Then a commentary on Nehimiah 'the disciplained leader' Also...Revolution by the founder/leader of Gospel for Asia. And Revenovation of the Heart by some people..lol don't know who, its a youth book purpose to create a desire within the youth to live radically for Jesus.Lots of books, will take months..pending on the free time I get. So, this post is two fold. One to say 'this is what im reading and read' and also 'I wouldn't be reading half the books im reading, if i never been to this site' (Praise)Loving. :-P

1. Brother LawrenceI enjoyed this book. I would add to your comments that the "practice of the presence" is not merely a matter of the mind but also of attitude and heart. It permeates through our whole being, will, emotion, and mind. Our minds might be engaged in our ordinary work, but the prayer of the heart never ceases. 2. Watchman NeeNormal Christian Life is my all-time favourite. His short sermons in Twelve Baskets Full are hard to find and rarely mentioned, but I find them very edifying.For more contemporary writers on spirituality, I find Eugene Peterson excellent. Most people know him through his paraphrase of the Bible, The Message, but I am attracted to his down-to-earth, thoroughly Bible-centered writings.

I dont know much about Eugene Peterson other than the Message translation.So far, Wild at Heart is a wonderful book. Really shows you 'what does it really mean to be a MAN' and does alot for your soul.
