All Things Expounded

I’m sick with a cold and yet somehow a bit restless tonight, so I figured I’d get to a long neglected booklog.  That this list is so short testifies to the hectic pace of life for better or for worse! So here is my book log, covering almost two months! It’s been a long time since I’ve read so few books!

• Why We Love the Church: In Praise of Institutions and Organized Religion by Kevin DeYoung and Ted Kluck: Love it! (I’m more of a fan of Kevin’s contributions as opposed to those of Ted, but they both have valuable contributions to make here)

• The Songs of the People of God by Charles Hauret: Interesting, a few parts of this are very helpful in understanding the Psalms and seeing their value in the New Covenant.

• The Inimitable Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse: Great

• Islands in the Stream: A Novel by Ernest Hemingway: Definite raunch-factor going on here, but an interesting portrait of Cuba and Cubans

• Reflections on the Psalms by C.S. Lewis: There’s unquestionably great parts and there are horrid Psalm-stomping parts.  What was Lewis thinking? If you’re going to mine this for gold, prepare to step in some cowpies.

• Second Apology by Justin Martyr: Interesting.

• Fidelity by Douglas Wilson: Excellent, recommended for guys to read.

• Heretics by G.K. Chesterton:  Jovial, witty, and pleasingly grotesque. Should I expect anything else from GK?
