Anyone who has followed be for very long, knows my love of books. And lists. So it totally makes sense for me to make a list of books that I want to read for the year, right? So I did. And I did really well, for a few months. But I am so sad to say that I have pretty much abandoned my list.
I've still been reading some, but I haven't followed much of my list for several months. I've actually had several books cross my path that I had to read, such as For The Love by Jen Hatmaker. But I've also had a couple cross my path that I just needed to read, like Kevin Yancey's What's so Amazing About Grace? Both were amazing and I would highly recommend them.
Last month I came across The Hole in Our Holiness by Kevin DeYoung. I started it immediately. I am just beginning it (and haven't made enough time for it), but I love it. I think I am on quite a personal journey exploring righteousness, holiness, and grace and the inner-working of all those things together.
Even with my major deviation from my list, I'm not chucking it out just yet. Perhaps I'll return to it at some point this year. I'm not ready to call it a failure, just yet. I have to remember that the point of my list is to keep me reading. My goal was 24 books this year. This doesn't seem overly ambitious to me. I have friends that will read double that by year end. I just want to make sure that I am continuing to feed my mind and being challenged.
So, what are you reading? What has caught your eye this year?
