Summer is often a little more laid back and the pace of life seems to slow for many of us. It is often a great time to catch up on reading some good books you have been meaning to get to.
If you are looking for some book ideas, here in no particular order are a few that I have found to be exceptionally good.
Blue Like Jazz - Donald Miller’s best known work and one of my favorites of his, this is a funny, quirky look at God and life as he traces his own spiritual journey.
The Life You’ve Always Wanted - John Ortberg writes about spiritual practices that will help you connect with God. One of my favorite books of all time, it has been especially formative for me.
The Case for Christ - A classic by Lee Strobel, a former atheist and investigative reporter who sets out to prove Christianity is fake and ends up finding enough evidence to make a compelling case for believing Jesus is who he said he was.
Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption - Laura Hillenbrand, tells the story of Louis Zamperini, Olympic athlete and World War II bombardier. Extremely compelling, this can be a challenging read when it graphically details the abuse he suffered as a prisoner of war in Japan. A true story of perseverance and hope, it is hard to put down and highly recommended.
I have copies of each of these for any who would like to borrow one. What’s on your reading list this summer?
