If that's directed at myself, I have not. The Lessons of History is my first. I'm about half way through. I do want to read the series.

Also reading Sit, Walk, Stand, by Watchman Nee.

Wishing I had a commentary on Ephesians written by Brother Blume.

Brother Blume can whip that up in jiffy.

I've gone back to reading The Lucifer Effect. I am also reading Revelation in the NASB. I'm in the Gospel of Luke still in the ESV.

My wife and I finished 12 Rules For Life by Dr. Jordan Peterson a few weeks ago.

We've begun reading together The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. We are just beginning, with A Study in Scarlet.

Our plan is to oscillate between fiction and non-fiction together.

I finished Ben Sharpiro's The Right Side of History.

At only 218 pages, it breezes by without much meat in the text. I would call it a primer in this regard, or a well-developed and thorough annotated bibliography written as an extended undergraduate-level essay.

For my personal enjoyment, I would rather that he had added another 100+ pages of more in-depth historical analysis of the development of the West and how the French Revolution and some of the Enlightenment thinkers of Europe planted the seeds that have gotten us where we are today. Instead, we have mere overviews, enough to get a sense of the issues, but not enough to really cut to the heart of these matters.

Not wholly unrecommended, but out of all the books I've read in 2019, it's nowhere near the top for me.

In the video below, Ben Shapiro discusses the book and its content with Dr. Jordan Peterson, if anyone would like to watch:
