I’ve been tagged by TMC IBEX professor Todd Bolen to answer and post the following book survey. I don’t read as much or as carefully or as frequently as I want to or should, but here are my answers.
-
One book that changed your life: The Pleasures of God by John Piper
-
One book that you’ve read more than once: Kingdom of Priests by Eugene Merrill (both times it was for a class and both times it was profitable)
-
One book you’d want on a desert island: Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
-
One book that made you laugh: Calvin & Hobbes
-
One book that made you cry: Spirit of the Rainforest: A Yanomamo Shaman’s Story by Mark Andrew Ritchie (I don’t remember if I cried or not, but it’s a hard enough read that I remembered it when I saw this survey question)
-
One book you wish had been written: A Godward Life: The Life and Diary of John Piper
-
One book you wish had never been written: The Qu’ran (Todd and others put this answer first, and I thought it was the most appropriate)
-
One book you’re currently reading: Tortured for Christ by Richard Wurmbrand
-
One book you’ve been meaning to read: Religious Affections by Jonathan Edwards
