Conservatives - What books do you read?
 

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.

What about "liberals"?
 

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.

Anything written by Apostolic authors...(I assume)

I read anything written by Verbal Bean.

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.

OHHHHHHH, you meant religious books for religious cons....not politics.


Sorry, my bad.

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

I am currently reading the "End of the Spear." The movie was outstanding!

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.

I've read Dobson's books on childrearing...

Dare to Discipline
Bringing up Boys
Strong Willed Child

I also enjoy Francine Rivers...recently listened to The Priest, The Prophet, and Calebi

Outside of Christian inspiring books.......I love to read Clive Cussler. Skeleton Coast and Treasure of Khan were really good!
Prevention Magazine has lots of well-being tips.
And I till love reading "HIGH LIGHTS" magazine!!!!

Francine Rivers?? Sounds like a disease. Oh Oh watch out I have Francine Rivers. I got a shot but I am still not over it.

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

My I recommend to you the book by Dale Carnegie, " How to Win Friends and Influence People" :drawguns
