Tag, You’re It!

We are still hot on the last two posts, and I don't want to stop our great discourse, so keep them going, but something has happened, that apparently I must respond to. Daniel
has tagged me with the “one book” meme, so here goes. I guess I feel honored because I think this means you are “almost somebody” in the blogosphere…I can pretend, anyway…

(other than the Bible for all answers)



1. One book that changed your life :
My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers

2. One book you've read more than once:
JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings Trilogy

3. One book you'd want on a deserted island:
The Complete Book of Sand Dune Recipes

4. One book that made you laugh:
Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot by Al Franken
*(Never read it, but the title was all I needed…)

5. One book that made you cry (or feel really sad):
Christianity in Crisis by Hank Hannegraaf

6. One book that you wish had been written:
The Doctrine of the Trinity: It’s Importance and Applications by the Apostle Paul

7. One book that you wish had never been written:
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

8. One book you're currently reading:
The Five Points of Calvinism, by David Steele, et al

9. One book you've been meaning to read:
Exegetical Fallacies by D.A. Carson

10. Now tag five people:

Brad (Sojourner)

Matt (Gummby)

Jonathan Moorehead

Jim (Faith Classics)

and yes, I would like to know his answers, so, if he will,

  2. I am not sure whether to be honored or annoyed. :)

    I will take this as a positive thing. I hope.

  3. It is fun, except if you get tagged for a few things in a row. Then it is fun still, but a fun that looks a lot like "make work."

  4. Oh and exegetical fallacies is a must read - even if you don't study Greek.

    Why do you wish "Brave New World" had never been written?

  6. It shows how depraved we really are...

    It shows where humanism will take us...

    Huxley himself printed a retraction of sorts a few years later...

  8. In a sense, yes, but the Bible already tells me that, and to me, seeing it the way it is portrayed in this work is ugly...

  9. Okay. I guess I will have to disagree. I thougth the book was brilliant, not only as a piece of literature, but also as a commentary on the human condition.
