So I picked up and read in about three days Born to Run. It was very good, albeit some language concerns decreased my overall enjoyment.
Since then I've started reading three different books. Alan Segal's Two Powers in Heaven, Being Mortal by Dr. Atul Gawande, and The Lost History of Christianity: The Thousand-Year Golden Age of the Church in the Middle East, African, and Asia--And How It Died by Philip Jenkins:

Of the three, this is the most interesting so far. |
I am about halfway through The Lost History of Christianity. It's only so-so, so far.
As for Being Mortal I HIGHLY RECOMMEND everyone read this book, and take a long hard look at their own mortality with some true seriousness, and conviction about the fact we're all going to die one day, and what kind of life are we expecting to live leading up to that point. And if your parents are alive, I recommend reading the book, sharing it with them, and have some serious discussions about how the last years of their life might play out and what you can do for them to make those years the very best possible.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: What Are You Reading Currently, 2.0
Just finished re-reading "Then came the glory" by Nona Freeman.
I am re-reading all of my Nona Freeman books.
They are very encouraging!

If memory serves, I am in 2 Corinthians still. Thanks for the reminder. Will have to get back on it!

I gave my RV away to someone who left for a missions trip to Central America. Have not purchased a new one yet.

Re: What Are You Reading Currently, 2.0
I finished The Lost History of Christianity a little over a week ago. It became very good by the end. Anyone who wants to veer from the traditional Catholic and Protestant, that is, Western Christiany's history, and find out what happened in the East, especially after the fall of Rome, then during Byzantium, then into the Muslim era, this is the place to start.
I started reading Bearded Gospel Men. Put it down after awhile. Kind of lame, a bit funny, but not much.
Currently reading: http://www.prisonexp.org/book/
In the NKJV I am reading Exodus. Coming close to the end, there. Am in Jeremiah in the ESV, a little more than halfway through, and am only a few chapters from the end of 2 Kings.
