May Reading List
All right, it's time for my May Reading List.
Just Finished Reading
Testimonies vol 1 by Ellen White
Testimonies on Sabbath School Work by Ellen White
Following Jesus Without Dishonoring Your Parents by an Asian American team
Cleanse and Close by Larry Kirkpatrick
Miracles Happen Every Day by Robert Pierson
Currently Reading
The Holy Bible by God
Faith I Live By by Ellen White
Medical Ministry by Ellen White
Daniel and Revelation by Uriah Smith
Here We Stand edited by Samuel Pipim
Digital Audio Essentials by Bruce and Marty Fries
Bonus: Book Report
Following Jesus Without Dishonoring Your Parents is a great book for Asian American Christians who seek to understand how their Asian heritage and their American culture can fit with their Christian values. The first six chapters are excellent and deal with the Confucian roots of many Asian cultures versus the individualistic roots of Western society. They deal with honoring parents, performance pressures, and self-understanding.
The second half of the book is less helpful, mostly because the authors come from an evangelical, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship perspective. For instance, they advocate a role of leadership for women in the church that is not Biblical.
Overall, the first part of the book is recommended for anyone who seeks to understand the issues unique to Asian-American Christians. Read the second half with Berean discernment.
A couple more book reports will be forthcoming...

So Tim..... Of all those books you are reading now, how did that one about audio slip in??? Trying to outwit Curtis??? (Just joking Curtis...)
That's a hefty list. Do you intend to finish them all this month?
I need to start reading again now that I'm done with school. (I've always read some, but it's mostly been confined to textbooks and devotional material.)
Arden - Actually, Curtis gave me the book about audio!
Joelle - I wish I could finish all of them this month but I can almost guarantee that I won't. A couple of them are devotional type books which are supposed to be ongoing while others are so long that I don't even try to give them a deadline!
Hey pass that Asian book to me when you get a chance.
Here We Stand is almost like fifty books in one. All those well-thought-out articles are worth the time it takes to read them.
Dude you are cooking on the books. I'm still trying to finish PP and 7 Highly effective habits!
kpl
Tim! This is unbelievable. It's July 7 and you're still reading the same books! Wow...
hi Tim,
how are you?!
it's been a while=)
so i am here paying your site the overdue visit.
man, i wish i had your reading skills, reading like 10 books at once. =)
hope everything's well. anything exciting happening out in cali?!
So Tim, let me guess.... That book on audio is the only one keeping you from completing you massive list???
just joking... he he he...
You need to update your blog. It is screaming "neglect." But it is good that you take friends who have birthdays out to dinner, so you are excused (until this weekend.)
