  1. Looks like you have great goals in your reading! Do you get them all done? I have much of the same aspirations, but between running my business, being a father, and husband I don’t get everything done that I want. I like the books you read though, I am currently finishing up on “Humility” by C.J. Mahaney and a few others. God bless and keep up the good reading- and remember to put to practice those things that you get!

    Hi Jason – thanks for dropping by! No, I don’t get everything read that I plan to read. For example, I left about 8 books unread that I’d hoped to finish by the year’s end, but just didn’t have the time – that is, I decided other things (such as those you mentioned!) often took precedence. Humility is a wonderful book; CJ gave many great tools to cultivate humility. I have far to go, but I call his advice to mind – I’m now surprised to realize it – almost daily. “Welcome correction. Listen to criticism, look for truth in it,” etc.

    Aron,

    I saw that you were reading The Brothers Karamazov; did you like it? I read it about 3 years ago. The Grand Inquisitor and Ivan’s Nightmare are amazing chapters. Dostoevsky truly has a gift for redemptive narrative.

  4. Aron says:

    Hi Mike,

    I’m not quite finished with it yet, but yes I am enjoying it. His characters are quite vivid. I like that phrase, “redemptive narrative”. More later when I’ve finished, maybe…
