I can stop anytime I want. But last Friday, I found a few more books to add to my library at two used bookstores: Like most library systems, the Huntsville-Madison County Library has a Friends of the Library bookstore. Here is what I found there: Promise and Deliverance, Vol 4 (Christ and the Nations). by [...]

July Books
With getting more situated and settled at our new home and the rest, I have been able to return a bit to my reading. I am thankful for that. Here are my brief thoughts (not necessarily a full-blown review) on the books that I completed reading during the month of July. A Thousand Splendid Suns [...]

Inspirational Profile: Jesus
Yesterday, I began a mini-sermon series within our series on the Book of Colossians from Colossians 1:15-23. I am attempting to ask and answer this question: Who is Jesus? Here’s how I introduced this series: There is no doubt that there still remains uncertainty about who Jesus, whether with regard to his person (that is, [...]

Quote: Churchless Christianity
From Ministry Today Magazine: QUOTE: “I see the church derided with mockery and scorn. I see critics exaggerating her weaknesses and incapable of affirming any of her strengths. I see many leaving the church instead of loving her for better or for worse. I see lots of my peers who have 20/20 vision for the [...]

I failed to do a post for May, so here are the books that I completed reading in May & June of 2009: May Books Why Johnny Can’t Preach: The Media have Shaped the Messengers by T. David Gordon: Gordon is a professor at Grove City College and he wrote this book while he was [...]

Free Audiobook: Crazy Love
Christian Audio, as they do each month, is offering a free audiobook (use JUL2009 as a promo code). This month’s selection is Francis Chan’s Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless Love. I have heard a little about this book and it has sold a lot of copies over the past year. Anybody read this book? [...]

April Book(s?)
Apparently another casualty of our current lives (see previous post) is the lack of reading and/or my inability to remember or write down what I finished reading. As it is, here is the one book that I have written down that I finished reading: The Mystery of the Holy Spirit by RC Sproul: this book [...]

March Books
Here are the books that I completed reading during the month of March: The Innocent Man by John Grisham: I’ve read just about every book that Grisham has written (The Testament is one of my favorite novels) and this is another of his legal thrillers with one major difference – it’s a non-fiction account surrounding [...]

St. Patrick’s Breastplate
St Patrick is worthy of celebrating – just not in the way that this has come to be. Read St. Patrick’s Breastplate here. I enjoyed reading about St. Patrick in Thomas Cahill’s good book How the Irish Saved Civilization.

February Books
Here are the books that I completed reading in February. These aren’t review exactly…more like my impressions: The Gospel & Personal Evangelism by Mark Dever – This is one of the best books on evangelism that I have read (not that I have read a ton). It is a relatively small book but it is [...]

Recommendation: Westminster Bookstore
I use Amazon for the great majority of my book purchases based on the quality of their service, speed of shipping, and price (both shipping and product). I am sure I will continue to use Amazon, but recently I made my first two purchases from Westminster Bookstore and I am impressed. First order: I placed [...]

January Books – Book, actually
This will be a very short list, as I only completed reading one book in January. Not only was January a light month for posting, it was a light month for reading (I wonder if those are related or simply indicative of what is going on in my life currently) Why We’re Not Emergent by [...]

I Heart McKay (and used bookstores in general)
Posted by Adam in Books. Tagged: Books, bookstores, christianity, commentaries, reading, used books. 2 Comments
Like most pastors, I love books. Consequently, I love used bookstores. At least, the ones like McKay’s. McKay’s has that rare combination of great prices and great selection. So, a couple of weekends ago, on a trip up to Knoxville to celebrate my grandfather’s 90th birthday, we stopped ever so briefly at the Chattanooga location [...]
