THE MAN COMES AROUND: THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY OF JOHNNY CASH by DAVE URBANSKI
still have yet to finish this one, but it's not for lack of interest, because i have learned so much from reading this book. like countless others, i am intrigued and influenced in a big way by the life of johnny cash. it's been really interesting to delve into the personal, spiritual composition of such a complex man. this guy lived it all, went to hell and back, and had a rock-solid faith because of it. i highly recommend this book for all johnny cash fans and anyone interested in learning more about a raw, tested relationship with jesus christ.
CHANGES THAT HEAL by DR. HENRY CLOUD
this is the book that i'm reading for a bible study that i'm currently taking @ cbc. i know it might sound hyperbolic and a little like i'm trying to sell you ocean-front property in arizona, but you MUST read this book - it really does have the power to change your life. besides creating a general awareness of all the self-inflicted roadblocks we put up to stall leading a healthy, holistic life; this book offers practical, logical, relevant steps for breaking through those chains that bind. read this book and you will gain so much personal insight and learn why the relationships in your life function the way they do. i'd buy you all a copy of it if i could, that's how much i believe in it!
THE RELATIONSHIP PRINCIPLES OF JESUS by TOM HOLLADAY
this book was recommended to me by my friend dean and i went out and bought it the night that he told me about it; his conviction and case for having me read it was so strong that i had no choice. essentially, this book is the manifestation of rick warren's "purpose driven life." whereas that book was all about building a strong sense of the individual self, "relationship principles of jesus" continues on with the outpouring productivity and fruits of the foundation built upon in "purpose driven life." this one's challenging me because you're only supposed to read a small section daily and commit to consciously building upon what you have learned, but i really am truly getting a lot out of it. if you feel inclined to join me on the "40 days of love" challenge, join right in! i'm only on day 6!
