What is everyone currently reading? I ask because it helps give me ideas for my ever expanding library..

I am currently reading "History of the Christian Church" Vol 1 Aposolic Christianity by Philip Schaff, and "The Story of Civilization" Book 3 Ceasar and Christ by Will Durant.


I am a history nut

"If ever a monk got to heaven by monkery, I ought to have gotten there!" Martin Luther

Right now apart from Scripture (I'm so bad about this, having several books going) I am reading:

A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life, William Law
Always Ready, Greg Bahnsen
The Life of John Newton, Josiah Bull
The Mischief of Sin, Thomas Watson
Saved By Grace, Herman Bavinck
Family Religion, Matthew Henry

I *think* that's all. Not too bad, actually, only six

Just finished Mayflower by Nathaniel Philbrick--a secular, fascinating history, well documented, sympathetic to the Puritans for the most part.

Whoops! Seven! Left off Manton's Sermons on Hebrews 11!

I'm reading "Concerning the End For Which God Created the Word" by Edwards, "All of Grace" by Spurgeon and plowing through "The Institutes of Christian Religion" by Calvin. Edward's is the hardest but is very good it will take me some time to get through it.

Owen's Death of Death (I promised myself I'd read it this winter!); Piper's series of short biographies; I'm also on an Edwards kick, kind of reading related history without a whole lot of planning.

Splitting between two books right now, my typical habit. Knowing God by JI Packer and By What Standard? by RJ Rushdoony.

This is my "Currently Reading" shelf from goodreads.com

My practice is to study along with what my church is teaching through.
Currently it's Hebrews, Philippians, The Doctrine of God, and the Baptist Catechism.

Finished this one last night.

Just started Putting Amazing Back into Grace - Michael Horton

And continuing to read various commentaries on the Book of Malachi.

This sounds like an interesting book... I think I will check it out

The Death of Meaning by Rushdoony

TI-86 users manual

Browsing through How Should We Then Live? by Francis Schaeffer

Next up - The History of The Church by Eusebius (for the 3rd time)

I wish I had Philip Schaff's books. They'd be great reading!

In no particular order:

Memoirs: Volume One: Year of Decisions by Harry S. Truman (Garden City: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1955) This is the first of the two volumes of Truman's presidential memoirs. I like to call Truman the "last sane Democrat."

The Jeweler's Eye by William F. Buckley, Jr. (New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1969) This is a collection of Buckley's essays and articles published to that point.

Moral Essays: Volume 1 by Seneca; translated from the Latin by John W. Basore; The Loeb Classical Library (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1928) The Roman writer Seneca, whose older brother, Novatus, is the Gallio of Acts 18:12-17.

The Lives of the Novelists by Sir Walter Scott; reprint; the Everyman's Library series (London: J. M. Dent & Sons, 1910) Biographies of novelists whose works were reprinted in a multi-volume format in the early 1820s. Same idea as Samuel Johnson's Lives of the English Poets (1779, 1781).
