No reading?

Believe it or not, the reason I haven't posted on this blog at all recently is that I haven't been doing much reading of value. About six weeks ago now, I committed to God that I was going to stop buying new books until after Easter. Little did I know that decision would lead me to a period of "silence" when it came to books. Oh, I'm still reading, but had not been reading much worthy of talking about or worthy of reviewing. It was almost like I was "sulking" about not being able to buy new books.

I think, though, that I am beginning to see the other side of this period of silence. Just this week I started reading two books that I hope to review in the next week or so - unChristian by Dave Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons; and The Politics of God and the Politics of Man by Jacques Ellul.

Before I continue reviews, though, I have to confess that this prolonged period of silence has been good for me - I pray that it continues to break me of my "need" to use books as an escape from my own life.

I'm reading now, and I'll be back on track soon!

Peace,

Joe
