I was going through my bookshelf, organizing and putting some books into a chest. I realized that I have about 100 Pentecostal Publishing House or otherwise related books. How many do you have?

(I thought I had a lot of Amish books but realize I only have 24.)

I used to have lots of books but after so many moves and letting people borrow them I am down to just a few now.

I would have to go in the other room to make much of a list but some of my current favorites are....

Houses That Change The World by Wolfgang Simson
Square Foot Gardening
Month By Month Gardening In Louisiana
My newest and the one I am currently reading is Brother Blume's newest book Take A Bite Out Of Eternal Life
Where Do We Go From Here? by Ralph W Neighbor
Pagan Christianity by Frank Viola
Rethinking The Wineskin by Frank Viola

That's a start...

Sounds like you like gardening. ;) I have a ton of other books too. Most of them are on religions/spirituality or relationships. I do have some other topics like gardening and cleaning and such.

I have hundreds of books, most I have read, collected over the last 36 years. I am currently reading two books by Philip Yancey_ "PRAYER" Does it make a difference? and "The Jesus I Never Knew". What are you reading currently? Two other books I am reading but at a slower pace is, "Repositioning Yourself" by T.D. Jakes, and then "God In Three What" by our own Chan.

I read about everything the PPH had to offer in my first 15 years of adult life, I have since then I have diversified a great deal.

I have the Prophecy Digest books from the 1980's.

They used to make for scary reading, but they are humorous books today!

I used to have a bunch of books, but gave them away whe I realized they were mostly hogwash anyhow.

Now I am very selective. The last book I bought was "Adorning the Doctrine" by JR Ensey, and also the New Cyclopedic Theological Dictionary that Bro Ensey compiled.

Other than that...cookbooks. Never seen a cookbook steer ya wrong, unless it was one of them fad diet ones written by some short effeminate feller.....Grillen books are my favorite....


I also like Loius Lamour and Zane Grey ...shhhh

PPH Books? Let's see, I seem to have tons of them!

Otherwise, I have a rather large library. Favorites are anything by Arthur Pink, Tozer, Stephen Charnock and any Colonial period theologians. My two newest are manuscripts I have just completed! One is "If The Kings Could Speak", the other is an untitled commentary on the Book of Nehemiah.

I'm not into fiction nearly as much as I was as a young man, though I do love L'Amour.

Just counted 112 in my reference section. That is all that will fit there. Some may be scattered elsewhere.

I would say I have well over a thousand books.

I have loaned many out that have lost their way home. :(

I usually put my name in mine. That helps, but not always. ;)

At the moment I have quit reading much of anything but the bible.
There are some Biblical reference works I want to buy though.

I have 30 or so PPH-purchased books, several more from other Apostolic sources, several more that also forgot who owns them, even though I put my name in all my books too....

I use to have more, but I have donated books to the "church library" that I had either already read or didn't care for, and thought someone else might like them.

I have an extensive library with about 3000 books. Most are Reformed and Puritan with a large amount of biographies and politcal books.

The only PPH books I have were written by my father.
