This year I'm going to do what everyone else I know seems to be doing and compile a reading list for the year. I think I have a pretty good start on it but if anyone has any recommendations for me I'm open to suggestions! Hopefully having a visible list will help keep me on track...hopefully...

*****


Here is my reading list (rough draft) for 2009 (I'm a slow reader, hence the modest list):
  • The Six Wives of Henry VIII - Alison Weir
  • The Children of Henry VIII - Alison Weir
  • Knowing God - J.I. Packer
  • A Case for Amillenialism - Kim Riddlebarger
  • Rose From Brier - Amy Carmichael
  • The Great Divorce - C.S. Lewis
  • Islam Unveiled: Disturbing Questions About the World's Fastest-Growing Faith - Robert Spenser
  • Nicholas Nickelby - Charles Dickens

I think that, in order to give you the whole scope of the debate, it would be wise to add a Dispensationalist to that list :)

Not that you need to agree with them, you probably won't, I don't on many points, simply that it will help you to see where they come from.

Charles Ryrie (whom I theologically dislike on MANY points) has the standard defense of classic dispensationalism. It is called, simply, "Dispensationalism."

Riddlebarger is good stuff though. Nice list!

Yes, I agree with you. I am planning to read a book about/or by a Dispensationalist so that I can get both sides of the issue. I just hadn't come across what I wanted to read yet. As I said, this list is just sort of a rough idea...subjet to change and such. Thanks for the recommendation though...I'll check it out!

Good for you, Hannah. My favorite practical book is Pink's "Profiting from the Word." It's very brief and straight-forward, and I've used it as a morning read since the chapters can be read in fifteen minutes, or so.
