I am starting to read one particular book and have not even finished it when I pick up another book!
That's not a very good problem, because I get confused. Hehe.
No really, in all seriousness... I started reading "Elders and Leaders" by Gene Getz and got up to Chapter 10 and I picked up another book. This book is like a textbook because before reading every chapter of the book you must read large portions of Scripture. For example, a chapter from Titus where he talks about Elders in the church.. or Acts where Paul goes on his missionary trips. I only made it to Chapter 10. Ugh...
The next book that I picked up is called "He is Not Silent" by Albert Mohler.. This book deals with the art of Preaching in the Postmodern World and its one of those books that you really need to focus on what the author is trying to let you know. An amazing book that you will not understand if you are reading another book. In other words, I'm screwed.
This Monday, I was drawn to buy and start another book called "What is a Healthy Church?" by Mark Dever.
Dude, I should not have picked it up!
This book has only 120 something pages (small and short). This book answers the question of what is a healthy church and how can you tell that it is. Its one of those books that once you start reading you get momentum and suddenly I'm halfway done with the book... a very practical book.

So, I am reading about Church Leadership, Preaching, and Church Growth, along with my daily reading of 1 John. I need to focus, right about... NOW!
Pray for me.
I think Ill finish "What is a Healthy Church" first, then work my way up.
I need to stop buying books.
Did you know that Mark Driscoll came out with a new book called, "Death by Love -Letters from the Cross"?

Hey tony,
Thanks for all the encouragement bro, we need it! I forgot that u all got hit down there, how are all the efforts going to rebuild some of the damaged area? I feel you on the reading the book stuff, I really suck at that too picking up another book before I finish the one in my hand. Check out this new book Mark Driscoll is working on at: (http://relit.org/porn_again_christian/)
