Dostoevsky's The Idiot, half way through and it's not tasting good. Although I want to like his work I can't shake Nabokov's comments.
Horton's Systematic Theology, great sections on our union with Christ and the just/sanc routine.

Well played DMcFadden.
Jason, we have received our Atlantic Blue calfskin Allan KJVs and I must say that it is fun reading the KJV in this font, print boldness and awesome binding.
Has taught me that about 90% of the KJV can be read as routinely as any modern translation; the other 10% is the problem.

I've read a lot of books this year, but hands down the best book I've read in the past couple years is:
Redemption: Freed by Jesus from the Idols We Worship and the Wounds We Carry
I'm finishing up my 2nd go through the book.

Just finished reading Kevin Vanhoozer's book Is There a Meaning in This Text?: The Bible, the Reader, and the Morality of Literary Knowledge. It was required reading for one of my classes, and it was nice to see someone coming to some of the same conclusions that I am.

That must be a great book! I just listened two sermons by Joe yesterday on how we are to worship God, and I was absolutely astonished by the truths that were revealed!

When I read that book I came away with a much deeper conviction of taking preaching seriously. My sermon prep time literally tripled after reading that book.

I just listened to the one on the Old Testament this past Tuesday. I must have an hundred of Joe Morecraft's sermons on cd in my car. My wife finally bought me a box to keep them all in since they were scattered everywhere.
Do you have his commentary on the Westminster Larger Catechism? I would definitely get it, but currently I cannot afford it. =/

How was that? I read his Family Driven Faith and was utterly unimpressed. I only finished out of the sheer pride issue of wanting to be honest when I said "I read the whole book." Is the book you read good?

No, I don't have it yet. My pastor recently purchased all four volumes when we went to see Dr. Morecraft speak at the Greenville Seminary Theology Conference. I told my pastor that he was causing a brother to stumble (I was coveting the commentaries). I did have Dr. Morecraft sign my copy of "How God Wants Us to Worship Him" and also "With Liberty and Justice for All."
