Books!

Well, we are firmly in the new year, and its time to write about one of my favorite subjects... books. Every new year I like to examine a new list of books to read. Christian Educator's Journal has a nice article on books. Click here to read one author's list of the top ten books every educator should read.

Here are a few of my favorites.

1. The Bible by God (Who else?)
I believe everyone can benefit from reading the Bible.

2. Wisdom and Eloquence by Robert Littlejohn and Charlies Evans.
A great book that blends the philosophy and practicality of education.

3. Culture and Race by Thomas Sowell
I am almost finished with this one, but it is already one of my favorites. It is well written with sound theory backed by solid research.

4. Knowing God by J.I. Packer
Everyone should read this book once a year.

5. God in the Dock by C.S. Lewis
I read at least half of it every sixth months.


6. Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant
I understand it the more I read it.


7. The House of Seven Gable by Nathaniel Hawthorne
I fell in love with this book in high school, and it continues to be one of my favorites.

8. The Confessions by St. Augustine
Continues to be a classic and a favorite.

9. Piety and Philosophy by Richard Riesen
This books continues to be one I reference year after year.

10. Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
My favorite of his three top sellers ( I also recommend The Tipping Point and Blink also).

There you have it, another list of books on which to spend your money. Happy reading!
