On Disciplined Reading!

I learned about On Disciplined Reading through Between Two Worlds! But this is from Between the Times by Professor Bruce Ashford.

This is worth reading all of the five of his posts about On Disciplined Reading!

I want to encourage you all to read all 5 posts.

Right now, I am currently reading The Confessions of St. Augustine. It is a wonderful book to read. I haven't finish it yet.

Plus, I love to read all the time, and it is very educational to read and learn a lot too! I do hope that you too love to read too.

What books am I reading?

What book(s) are you currently reading in these three categories: (a) for your soul, (b) for biblical study or (c) for personal enjoyment?

For my soul, I am still currently reading ESV The One Year Bible for my Daily Bible Reading every night.

For Biblical Study, I am reading Bible Doctrine by Wayne Grudem for Tuesday Morning Theology Breakfast. Also I just started to work on Bible Study on Galatians for the summer.

For my personal enjoyment, I am currently reading Ben Hur: A Classic Story of Revenge and Redemption by Lew Wallace. (I got this book as a gift, but I can't find this copy online but a different version of it online.)

There is a lot of other books that I would want to read them right now! I got a lot of books on hand that I haven't read yet. Number of John Pipers and other books that I have gotten.

I had finish reading The Pilgrim's Progress in Modern English by John Bunyan, and I really enjoy reading this book! It is not too King James to read it.

Recently, I finish studying 1 and 2 Peter for Bible Study with the Grace Group that we meet together once a month expect for the summer time. I have learned a lot. I did miss some nights that I had to go to work. OUCH! I don't like to miss a night of this wonderful Bible Study.

Just pre-order ESV Study Bible

I just can't wait to get my ESV Study Bible (English Standard Version). I had pre-ordered it the other day! Lord willing, I will get it at the end of October.

It will have 2752 pages (I will have to take a picture of that and compare to my ESV ThinLine Trutone Bible), 20,000 notes, 80,000 cross-references, 200-plus full color maps, more than 200 charts, and many more. Wow! That is a lot of information in this ESV Study Bible.

I want to encourage you all to go to this post that is ESV Study Bible. And also go to their blog that is ESV Study Bible Blog. Also go to ESV Bible.

ESV is one of my favorite easy reading translation. I also enjoy reading NASB (New American Standard Bible '77 and updated) and NKJV (New King James Version).

To compare ESV with your other favorite translations, go to BibleGateway.

You can order your ESV Study Bible through: Amazon, ESV, Crossway, Westminster, and Christian Book.

This would be a great Christmas present for your pastor, or for your Bible Study teacher, and elders, and for yourself too if you got the green growing in your pocket.

The Cross of Christ by John R.W. Stott

I am currently reading The Cross of Christ by John R.W. Stott. One of my wonderful church family gave me this book, and I am so thankful for a wonderful friend.

Right now, I am in the first chapter. WHOA! What a lot of information to learn from that! I know that I am looking forward to be part of the Tuesday Morning Theology Breakfast with my wonderful church family. We are studying this for Tuesday Morning Theology Breakfast together with the questions in the back of the book (especially if you have the 20th edition).

In the first chapter is full of the history about the cross and most of it I never had known about the history of it. Wow! It also explained about the cross and tree and about why Christ die for us and His purpose too. It is also full of scriptures for us to look up and some are quoted in the book.

I haven't finished the first chapter yet. It is a very long chapter. I know that I got a lot to learn as I am reading this book.

I would encourage you all to read this book too.

I am hungry to learn more from The Cross of Christ and hungry to eat His Word too!

Seeking Him!

In January, I was involved in a Bible Study group and using a book Seeking Him "Experiencing the Joy of Personal Revival by Nancy Leigh DeMoss and Tim Grissom. You can go to this link: Seeking Him . My wonderful friend, Carol led this Women's Bible Study group. I am so thankful for her to lead this Bible Study. I only missed two nights due to my bad case of sinus.

I have learned so much in this Bible Study and book too. I will need to go through this again. I would encourage you to get involve in this book for the Bible Study Group.

Thank you! Carol for leading us in this wonderful Bible Study Group. I am looking forward to another one.

Also, Carol had given us a summer Bible Study homework. We all do need a Bible Study homework for the summer time. We can't afford to take a vacation from His Word. We are working on The Letter of James as My Personal Devotional Life of "Seeking Him" Daily. I started it already and working on it. Please do pray for me that my mind will not tend to wander off course. I need to stay focus and stay on the course as I study His Word in this Bible Study for the summer.

I am also currently reading a chapter of Proverbs each day. It is a very different kind of book and full of wisdom to read.

We all need to be eating His Word daily!

My computer does have a mind of its own!

Yes! My computer does have a mind of its own just like I do. I do want to throw this computer out of the window in front of the 18 wheelers. It is that bad.

I know that I haven't written much this month. I do hope that I will be able to write more when I get this computer back from "shop". Lord willing, I will take it to the "shop" on Wednesday night. Please do pray that the Lord will give him the wisdom as he work on my computer. To find out whether I need more RAM or new computer.

I do want to use this computer or new computer for His Glory.

I haven't finish writing the blog about The Pleasures of God yet. There is so much for me to write about.

Right now, I am reading One Thing by Sam Storms. He is coming to Wilson on February 15th-17th. I am looking forward to hear him preach at Christ Baptist Church of Wilson.

Right now, I am home sick with bad case of sinus. Please do pray for me to recover soonest. I am on medicine for this. AAAUUUGGGHHH!!! I did rather be back to work and work.

More Books!

Yes, I did get some more books today.

I was able to get Humility: True Greatness by CJ Mahaney at CBCW's book table today.

After my birthday lunch, I went to the book store and got me two other books from my personal expense not the gift from my co-worker, see the blog: Books, Books, and Books! I got two Bibles after listening to my pastor, Justin's wonderful sermon on Psalm 1. He was encouraging us to get a new Bible. So therefore, I got me: The One Year Bible in ESV and another ESV Bible with the center column cross-reference that I had been waiting for. YEAH!

1:1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. 4 The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; 6 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. Psalm 1:1-6 ESV

I never had The One Year Bible before, so I am going to give that a try and see how that work for me.

We all need to delight in the Law of the Lord and meditates day and night. We also need to delight in His Word as we eat them daily. Are we faithful in this? I am not that faithful like I ought to be.

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!
