What am I reading right now?
The Vow, by ed gungor. Just finished it but am still contemplating the message about the ancient practice of making vows. A practice common in biblical times, he says this promise made to God is a way of demonstrating our love for God. Interesting and is making me think.
John's Story, The Last Eyewitness, by tim lehaye and jerry b jenkins. This is a biblically inspired novel with a firsthand account of the creation of the Gospel of John and Revelation. They plan a series of books, one for each gospel.
The Practice of the Presence of God, by brother lawerence. A book I have wanted to read for a long time. First I am reading it straight through and then want to read and study it slowly.
Angela's Ashes, by frank mccourt. Have heard it is good and found it at a bargain.
The Pursuit of God, by a w tozer. Another book I have put off reading for too long and hope to spend much time in.
Cane River, by lalita tademy. I am developing a taste for historical novels and this is one set in the south. A good find at a used book store.
Miracles, by c s lewis. Here is an author that I have shyed away from in the past, but want to work my way through some of his thoughts.
Here is what Ron is reading-
The Words of a Maasai Warrior, by tepilit ole saitoti. An autobiography of a Maasai from Tanzania who pursued higher education in Europe and the US and is now back living with his tribe.
The Irresistible Revolution, by shane claiborne. Talking about the church and the world and how we live out an authentic faith.
What is in your stack?

Those sound like great books. I think I will borrow some of them since I am in current need of new books to read. Have you read Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis? I read it a couple months ago and I really enjoyed it. Interesting.
FYI Richmonds! I found it easier to get through a book here, I read more in Tanzania then I ever did in the USA! I suggest shipping some books in an M-bag (talk to your post office) it takes a while but is cheap, and very much worth the effort!
Like Rebecca, I am going to read a couple from your list. They sound interesting. Hunter's all time favorite book is "Mere Christianity" by C.S Lewis. He had me send him three copies to share with some friends in India. You and Ron might find it useful in your future ministry.
