‘09 Reading List

Title > Category > Topic > Author > Pages > % Read > Date > Read >Bib. Info> Shelf Location > Notes

1. The Death of Death in the Death of Christ > Theology > Atonement > Owen, John > 312 > 100 > January ‘09 > Edinburgh: Banner of Truth Trust, 2007 > Great defense of limited atonement. The first half of the book is the bestpart b/c in it Owen lays out a positive articulation of defintie atonement. The second half of the book is Owen interacting with the arguments of universal atonement. Packer’s introductory essay is one of the best articulations of definite atonement.
2. Creating Magic: 10 Common Sense Leadership Strategies from a Life at Disney > Leadership > Organizational Effectiveness > Cockerell, Lee > 270 > 40 > January ‘09 > New York: Currency Doubleday, 2008 > Not in Library > A very interesting read on buisness leadership skills.  Worth reading the entire book if ever given the chance.  Some secular baggage that needs ignoring.
3. Holman Bible Atlas > 298 > 100 > February ‘09 > Holman reference. Nashville, Tenn: Broadman & Holman, 1998 > Office > Good background material & maps,  Will not read again, but will reference often for background material.
4. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People > Self Help > Personal Discipline > Covey, Stephen > 384 > 33 > February ‘09 > London: Simon & Schuster, 1999 > Audio Book > Downloaded for free. Some interesting observation of modern culture.  Good at identifying problems, but provides the wrong answers.  Not worth 2nd read.
5. The Holy Land Satellite Atlas 1.: Terrain Recognition > Bible Background > Geography > Nicosia, Cyprus & Cleave, Richard > 152 > 100 > February ‘09 > Røhr Production, 1999 > Office > Helpful maps, no useful background info.
6. The Holy Land Satellite Atlas 2: The Regions > Bible Background > Geography > Nicosia, Cyprus & Cleave, Richard > 248 > 100 > February ‘09 > Røhr Production, 1999 > Office > Helpful maps, limited background info, some helpful cross-references.
7. The Cross of Christ > Theology > Soteriology > Stott, John > 380 > 100 > March ‘09 > Downers Grove, Ill: IVP Books, 2006 > Home > One of the best books that I have ever read on the cross.  This is one that needs to be revisited periodically.  The first three sections are superior to the final section that deals with the community of the cross.  Watch out for a few ancillary points.
