What books are on your nightstand? Really, we want to know! (We'd love to get some feedback on this post in order to encourage one another in the reading of good books.)
Here's our line-up:
Jim is reading "First Theology: God, Scripture & Hermeneutics" by Kevin J. Vanhoozer. 375 pages with big words like supervenient grace, epistemology and deconstructionism, and loving every page.
Barb just finished two biography's: "Give me This Mountain" by Helen Roseveare and "Isobel Kuhn: the Canadian Women Who Felt God's Call to the Lisu People of China" by Lois Hoadley Dick. Admittedly, I had never heard of either woman, but after reading their fascinating stories I have come to admire their faith and perseverance very much. (Helen Roseveare is one of the speakers at the upcoming Desiring God conference - we can hardly wait.)

Hear John Piper talk about the conference: http://www.youtube.com/user/DGconferences
Whitney is reading Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," and Randy Alcorn's, "Deadline." Alcorn also wrote "Safely Home," one of our favorite family read-alouds. (Incidentally, Randy Alcorn is also one of the scheduled speakers at the DG conference. Hmmm... I detect a theme.)
Taylor is reading "Twenty-One Balloons" by Pene Dubois.
Piper is reading "Go, Go, Go" by P. D. Eastman (translated in English, "Go, Dog, Go!")

Hello Waldemar's!
I am so delighted to be the first to comment on your blog.
Since you asked, here is what I am reading:
The Reformation: How a Monk and Mallet Changed the World, by Steve Nichols
The Kingdom of Christ, by Russell Moore
Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis (Andrea and I are reading it together)
The Ways of White Folks by Langston Hughes
That is all. It's no wonder why I never have time to finish all of my books, I read too many at one time.
Love you guys!

Hello Waldemar family!
We miss you all so much! Thank you for creating this blog and giving us a way to sneak-peak into your daily lives. You are a humble example of Christs love and we are praying for you and your ministry!
Currently on my nightstand...
Believing God, a Bible study by Beth Moore.
Morning & Evening by Charles Spurgeon... wow!!
The Passion of Jesus Christ by John Piper
The Bible, a NIV version
Is it wrong that I kind of want to read the last Harry Potter book (odd considering I haven't read any of them... we have just seen the movies).
Love you all and miss you way too much! Can we see you soon??
lstaf? Hmmmm.... Is that you Laurie? How nice of you to check out our blog. You are always an encourager! So looking forward to seeing you on the 5th and hearing what's happening in your life!
