Last year, Cliff and I sat down at the beginning of the year and established goals for ourselves in a number of areas: spiritual, physical, emotional, mental, social, financial, etc. In keeping with this new tradition, tonight we reviewed our list of goals from last year and set new ones.
I noticed that I had "read one book a month" on my list from last year. I may have done this most months, but I had no purpose or intentionality with the books I chose to read or any confirmation that I'd accomplished the goal. This year, I wanted things to be different!
Cliff suggested that I make a list detailing the books I will read this year. He knows me well...I like to check things off a list! As I read the books, I'll try to review them and share what I've learned.
The books I plan to read in 2010:
Death by Love: Letters from the Cross (Re:Lit) by Mark Driscoll & Gerry Breshears
Womanly Dominion: More Than A Gentle and Quiet Spirit by Mark Chanski
The Majesty of the Law by Sandra Day O'Connor
Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands by Paul David Tripp
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (P.S.) by Barbara Kingsolver
Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist by John Piper
Real Food: What to Eat and Why by Nina Planck
The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis
The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name by Sally Lloyd-Jones
In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto by Michael Pollan
From Clutter to Clarity: Simplifying Life from the Inside Out by Nancy Twigg
Humility: True Greatness by C. J. Mahaney& Joshua Harris
Throughout the year, I'll also be reading:
Morning and Evening by Charles H. Spurgeon
The Bible (ESV): I'm working on getting through the New Testament this year!
If you have any suggestions of books I should add to my list, please let me know! What are you reading this year?
