All the Cool Kids Are Doing It

August30

So a bunch of my friends around the bloggerdom (that’s an official word by the way) started answering this list of questions about books. A wise man once said, “You can know a lot about a person by what they read” and a dumb guy once said, “read?”. I always want to be wise, and not dumb, at the same time if possible, so here are my answers. As an added bonus, and as a showing of my large nerdiness, you can click on any of the books mentioned below and buy them on Amazon, and I get a cut of the profit. So get out your credit card and start reading!

1. One book that changed your life: George Muller of Bristol by A.T. Pierson

2. One book that you’ve read more than once: Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper

3. One book you’d want on a desert island: US Army Survival Manual: FM 21-76

4. One book that made you laugh: Deepest Thoughts: So Deep They Squeak by Jack Handey

5. One book that made you cry: Innocents Lost: When Child Soldiers Go to War by Jimmie Briggs

6. One book you wish had been written: The Three E’s by Bob Childress and Biblical Radical Politics by Gregg Frazer

7. One book you wish had never been written: The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx

8. One book you’re currently reading: Praise Habit by David Crowder

9. One book you’ve been meaning to read: Good News About Injustice by Gary Haugen

This is the part where I’m supposed to say who else I want to answer these questions, but instead I’ll point you to those who have already done it, like Sam, Gunner, and Scott. You totally want to do it now don’t you? If you’re cool you will.

    Awesome. “Good News About Injustice” is really good. My mom is reading my copy right now actually. I didn’t really have anything other to say about that other then to inform you that she is indeed reading it. I’ll ask her what she thinks and get back to you and then maybe this comment would be more interesting.

    nice list Adam — I’ve been thinking of picking up Muller’s bio again (last time I read it was in high school). Here here to the 3 E’s!!! Did Bob get his “bloggerdom” comment in the sermon from you? :)
    I’d like Behle to write about the problem of stupid Christians.
