Books I've Never Read

I like books. Even with all the technology and gadgets around, books are still as informative and enjoyable to read.

I've a lot of books lying around the house which I've never read. These are some of them:

The Jesus I Never Knew by Phillip Yancey
What happens when a respected Christian journalist decides to put his preconceptions aside and take a long look at the Jesus described in the Gospels? How does the Jesus of the New Testament compare to the "new, rediscovered" Jesus--or even the Jesus we think we know so well?

Best-selling author Philip Yancey says, "This Jesus I got to know in writing this book is very different from the Jesus I learned about in Sunday school. In some ways he is more comforting; in some ways more terrifying."

Boy Meets Girl by Joshua Harris
If you're fed up with self-centered relationships that end in disillusionment, it's time to rethink romance. Finding the loving, committed relationship you want shouldn't mean throwing away your hopes, your integrity, or your heart.

In Boy Meets Girl, Joshua Harris--the guy who kissed dating goodbye--makes the case for courtship. As old-fashioned as it might sound, courtship is what modern-day relationships desperately need. Think of it as romance chaperoned by wisdom, cared for by community, and directed by God's Word.

Magnanakaw! Magnanakaw! Thieves That Robs Us Of Happiness by Ed Lapiz
People get robbed of happiness by thieves like lust, anger, perfectionism, grief, guilt feelings, compulsiveness, and insecurity.

How can we stop the thief? How can we reinvent ourselves so we won't attract the thief? How can a broken heart be happy again?

This book proposes the answers--from the Bible, no less! Written by Pastor Ed Lapiz whose books and message tapes bring immeasurable joy, comfort and strength to innumerable people all over the world.



I believe we can learn a lot by reading so I'm gonna start reading these great books. Sorry, you can't borrow mine! Go get your own copy. Hehe. Peace.
