Just thought I would ask the cons and ultra cons to list books that they read. And please do not list just the standbys that you read 30 times now. (Verbal Bean, Larry Booker, the Bible etc.)
What else do you read??
Devotional reading: Almost anything by Max Lucado. Even if he's not apostolic, I really enjoy his books.
Pleasure reading: The mystery suspense novels by Terri Blackstock, a few of the series by Karen Kingsbury & Dee Henderson.

I was about to list some of my study materials and books that I read during my morning devotionals then I realized you may think of me as a liberal.
I really don't like be pigeonholed by being labeled a liberal, con or ultra con. During my walk with God, all of those labels applied at one time or another.
This reinforced why I don't like labels. Forcing someone to have to characterize themselves with labels only leads children of God feeling excluded.
Well, have a blessed Sunday my con, ultra con brother.

Of course the Verbal Bean stuff, or anything written by T.W. Barnes.
I am currently reading "The Vanishing Conscience" By John MacArthur, and re-reading "The Mischief of Sin" by Thomas Watson, a Puritan author.
I hate to admit this almost, but I am also reading "God's Reach" by Glen Clark.
Finney's autobiography is also a favorite.

I've just about gotten to where I don't read any books written after the 1930s... seems like somewhere around that time the general writing quality took a nose dive...

Dude Ya got to get a life. Nothing past 1930 is kind of tough. "The Bible" and "Ned and the third reader". That's about it. OH yeah don't forget the papal encyclicals

Sis, have you read the book Captivating by Stasi Eldredge? I'm curious what other Apostolic women think of this book. I'm halfway through it.

Currently enjoying a pre 1930s (copyright 1923) hardback copy of "A Laugh A Day Keeps the Doctor Away" by Irvin S Cobb! :)
Beyond Belief to Convictions by McDowell was a recent good read from which to glean!
As a conservative I'm now reading the Talmud and Mein Kampf

Matt - arent you wanting to know about books other than spiritual books? As in for recreational purposes only? Not growth or devotion?

Any books. I always find it interesting to see what certain groups are reading. A lot of time it tells where they are. So really, spiritual or non spiritual.

How do you equate the hateful rants of a single uneducated moron with the Talmud?
