Eh, folks, here's what I'm reading right now -- both of which are awesome:
1) John Piper's Don't Waste Your Life. For those not familiar w. Piper, he writes a lot about living to glorify God and loving it. True to his M.O., Piper builds a case for gaining joy or getting pleasure out of living to bring God glory. He raves about 'being glad' in God and 'making others glad' in God. Refreshing! Takes the ritual and the staleness out of our walk with the Lord. Like a shot in the arm to examine where our heart is concerning Christ -- to see if He is indeed the Lover of our soul. And the not wasting your life part is woven into this recurring theme of Piper's with his poignant pleas for us to spend our lives doing what matters and what has eternal significance, so that we'll have no regrets.
2) Dallas Willard's The Great Omission: Reclaiming Jesus's Essential Teachings on Discipleship. Wonderful book simply about following Jesus -- about being a disciple of Christ. Challenges the notion that separates 'accepting Christ' from 'following Christ'. Paints excellent picture of how it looks to imitate Christ.
