Another Update on our Current Reading

Well, I've given up on The Meaning of Revelation by Richard Neibuhr. I got a few things out of it, but honestly it was just too abstract and over my head. If anyone out there has read it and understands it, I would love a crash course and would try to pick it up again. I'm not one to easily give up on books, but I just couldn't see continuing.

On another note. A was dying to read Pride and Prejudice, so we spent an afternoon on the town trying to find an English section in a bookstore. We finally found the two small shelves in one store that housed English titles and had all but given up when I finally found a copy of the very book she wanted! I didn't intend on buying anything, but you know how these things go, especially among book-aholics! I found The Essays by Francis Bacon. I've read a few and am thoroughly enjoying them. I'll give you more details when it isn't midnight. Hopefully, A will post a review of a couple of books she just finished (you might send her an e-mail to encourage her along these lines, wink, wink).

Update On Our Latest Reading

Well, since we haven't posted anything here since last May we obviously haven't read any books, right? O.K., so you know us way better than that. Actually, in preparation of our move across the Pacific we read several books about surviving/communicating/teaching/ministering cross-culturally and several books about our new culture in particular. I'm not going to publish a post on each of these for several reasons, however if you are interested in educating yourself along these lines I will recommend the authors Duane Elmer and Sherwood Lingenfelter. If you think you may be coming to Asia for a visit, shoot me an e-mail and I will recommend a few others.

Since we have been here though, we have resumed our nasty reading habit and will again be giving regular updates on our Library sideblog. What are you reading? We would love to know. Leave a comment and let us know what you are allowing to challenge and enchant your mind and heart.
