These are the books stacked on my nightstand, beside my bed, that I am reading, am in the process of reading gradually, or are to be read:<\/p>\n
1. A Breach of Promise, by Anne Perry; am reading now, a mystery!
2. Heaven, by Randy Alcorn; read a little every now and then, a lot to process, but an amazing, powerful book!
3. The Purpose-Driven Life, by Rick Warren; have not finished.
4. God and George W. Bush, by Paul Kengor; only read a third–too dry, but hope to perservere.
5. Chicken Soup for the Caregiver’s Soul, by Jack Canfield, Mark Hansen, LeAnn Thieman; read now and again.
6. Ministries of Mercy, by Timothy Keller; read 3\/4ths, excellent, but slow going as he gets into practical set-ups at the end.
7. The Screwtape Letters, by C.S. Lewis; had book for years and want to read–just waiting in line!
8. When I Don’t Desire God, by John Piper; to be read.
9. Jungle Pilot, by Russell T.Hitt; to be read.
