The Acceptable Sacrifice by John Bunyan
This book is written by puritan John Bunyan and I highly recommend it. The book is about what sacrifices are acceptable to God but the main focus is on the broken and contrite heart which is the "acceptable sacrifice". Bunyan explains what the unbroken heart is and how God breaks it. He also gives the signs of a broken heart and why the heart must be broken. There are explanations of why God esteems a broken heart and on keeping the heart tender. This book will guide you into discerning whelter this change has taken place in your own heart. .:thumb

It's not uncommon for me to have a couple books going at once. Right now, 1-2 are being put on hold till our church's mission vision tri in August, where I'll take them on the plane to read just in case I need a break - or even if one of the young people needs. :) (I've also got Mad Libs I do myself for the church bus, I'll be printing some to take along, too.)

Anyway, secular books, The Pitcher, by Rob Trucks. Trucks, related to a former big league pitcher in the 1940s and 1950s, has done a series of books covering each position in baseball; the history, a day in the life of a big league one, blurbs from former major league ones on how they got started, making the bigs, etc.; and a few other things. I've read the ones on Catcher, First Baseman, and Shortstop. This will be a good, small airplane book.

I'm also reading Every Prophecy in the Bible, by John Walvoord, after reading a recommendation here and deciding it would be a good one for my ministry, wherever the Lord calls me to preach. It covers, book by book, every prophecy and some of the major views if there's controversy, though Walvoord does a very good job of explaining why, for instance, the premillennial view is the proper one for the Millennial Kingdom, etc.. he does it on a very understandable level, and I'm glad I ordered it.

Martin the Warrior by Brian Jacques
Part of a series (I think the 4th book). It's interesting. It's the legend of the great warrior of Redwall Abbey and one of his greatest triumphs.
I've been reading bits and pieces of the series; so far I like Rakkety Tam (seventeenth book)the best. It's well written and there's never a dull moment.
If you look up "redwall" on youtube you can watch the animated series made after the first two books and Martin the Warrior.

Why Is God Silent by James Long
This book is pretty good as it explains what God is trying to tell us when He remains silent. The author explains that those times we are straining to hear the voice of God that the greatest perceptions come and we get a deeper understanding of the will and ways of God. The Lord is trying to teach us through the quiet times. I highly recommend this book.

I am currently reading "Newton's Riddle", which is a novel, based on historical fact. Isaac Newton was a believing Christian.... based on some of his real studies, this novel chronicles his belief in the Second Coming, and the upcoming war between Israel and surrounding countries.

(The author decided to write a Pro-Biblical novel based on fact, in answer to the DaVinci Code, which was an anti-Biblical novel people believed to be based on fact!!)

The Pilgrim's Progress in Modern English by Paul Bunyan updated by L. Edward Hazelbaker. I like the old english version better.
