Links to books I’ve recently started

I usually have about 15 books going at once. These are ones that I have started in the last week. I often reread books that I find enlightening. I obviously don’t agree with every statement in these books. Often, I find books written by those without any Christian faith to be very stimulating as they are addressing issues that are faced by all people.

Sol Stein. Stein On Writing: A Master Editor of Some of the Most Successful Writers of Our Century Shares His Craft Techniques and Strategies. This is a very good book on writing. A reread for me.

Gerald Sittser. Water from a Deep Well: Christian Spirituality from Early Martyrs to Modern Missionaries. This book is a very readable book on how Christians have wrestled with living a godly life for 2000 years.
