Knowing God, what a book to read!

I had been reading Knowing God for a long time. I recently finish it on Thursday. What a wonderful book to read. I also encourage you all to read his book if you haven't read it or read it again if you haven't read it for ages. I had written about it in some of my blog posting go to label and click on Knowing God (I just made the label for this). Here is the link: Knowing God

Right now, I started reading God is the Gospel by John Piper. I am looking forward to write more about it on this blog. Here is the link: God is the Gospel

I do hope that you are reading something wonderful about who He is. It is amazing to read books like this to open my eyes more and more and learn more about Christ. Of course, we all do need to eat His Word daily. I do find reading other books like this does help me to understand God and Christ more. I do hope this will encourage you to read others books as well as His Word.

Reading Proverbs in NKJV and The Letter of James!

For the month of July, I am reading Proverbs in NKJV (New King James Version). It is very interesting to read a different translation. The last two months, I had been reading Proverbs in NASB'77 (New American Standard Bible in the original and not the updated).

Lord willing, next month, August, I will be reading Proverbs in ESV (English Standard Version).

I would encourage you all to do the same thing too. We all need to be eating His Word. I also need to eat more of His Word daily too.

I am still working on the Letter of James and using ESV and sometime using NKJV and NASB updated. I am finding the Letter of James a hard one to do the observation, interpretation and application. Also about Faith and Works, my mind tend to think about what Paul had wrote in his letters too. I am trying to hang in there as I am studying the Letter of James even though I am behind the schedule. I am almost finish with the second chapter.

I haven't finish reading Knowing God by J. I. Packer yet and almost finish reading that. I am reading way too many books at the same time. WHOA! I would love to have at least 6 months of paid vacation to catch up all the reading that I want to read and be able to do other things too.

Reading Proverbs and Studying the Letter of James!

I thought that I would encourage you all to read Proverbs every day of the month. There are 31 chapter in Proverbs and one for each day. I am aware that not all months have 31 days. Carol had encouraged me to read Proverbs, and I read it last month. I really had enjoy reading Proverbs every day. It does remind me who am I for Christ, and how I am living my life for Christ.

There are some days that I am not living my life for Christ as I ought to. So this does help me to think about what I have been reading as well as studying the Letter of James. I just finish the first chapter of James yesterday. I am looking forward to study the second chapter of James.

The Letter of James is kind of like Proverbs to me as I am eating and studying His Word.

I am still reading Knowing God as you can see in the earlier post about this book. I can't put down this book. Right now, I am on page 206 and want to read that again. It is about Adoption: The Highest Privilege. WHOA! I never had thought about that before and had to read it again slowly.

Knowing God by J I Packer!

I am still reading Knowing God and learning a lot more in his book. There is no way someone can borrow my book because of all the marking, writing, underlining, highlighting and stars in that book. It would be too distracted for you to borrow it from me. I got about 100 pages more to go to read this book.

I am learning a lot about the attribute of God in this book! I would encourage you all to get (buy) this book and not borrow from the library or from your friends. I also encourage you all read it slowly and have your Bible(s) with you, and color pens, and highlighter, and you might want some papers too. I am taking my time with this one.

This book will help you to understand His Wrath and Jealous and many other attribute of God.

I also am learning His attribute on Wednesday night with my church family. It is something to learn and so amazing to learn more about Him.

The Lord is so good!

Books, Books, and Books!

I do want to thank the Lord for blessing me with books to read with His Word in each books! One of my co-worker had blessed me with a big check, so that I can buy books to read. I was so surprise and cry and hugged her. I don't deserve a gift like this. She knows that I love to read but didn't know what books to get for me. She said that I can use it for other things that is not just books. I did used it to buy books and not finish buying some more yet. I will post other books as I get each books.

With the cash, I was able to buy some books that is:

I am hungry to eat His Word in each books!

I am currently reading The Pleasures of God by John Piper that I got from the Anonymous this summer. WOW! What a book to read, and I am learning a lot in that. I will have to write a blog or two about this one.
