In my book bag right now –
All the King’s Men, Robert Penn Warren
Heartbreakingly well-written. Corruption in politics is as old as politics. I really resonate with fiction from the “Christ-haunted South.”
A New Inner Relish, Christian Motivation in the Thought of Jonathan Edwards, Dane Ortlund
Very helpful summary of what Edwards taught about affections, obedience, understanding and motivation.
The Essential Short Stories of Chekhov
This was recommended by David Powlison. Some humor, some romance, some ironic twists, and always the sadness of relational regret.
Two more updates:
1 – I heard back from SBTS this week that my doctoral chapter is headed back with my faculty supervisor’s corrections. So – as soon as it gets here – my free-time for reading will be lost to me until I fix that assignment up and turn it back in.
2 – We start Exodus on Sunday. I can’t wait.
