Bookworm Without Portfolio

One of the things that I enjoy most in life is reading, and one of the things I love about reading is the library of books which God has graciously given to us at home. There's a sense of real freedom in going along the shelves and picking a book to read a section or chapter from at will.

This works very well until it comes time to travel...

Every year I have an internal debate when going on holiday as to which books to bring and which to leave. Its usually a difficult decision when we're going away for a week, but now that we're looking ahead to almost 6 weeks leave in Peru, I'm completely stuck!!

So I've narrowed it down to a few, the logic operative behind the choices is that some of them will double up as books which Carolyn will enjoy as well - with a few exceptions. The shortlist (if it can be called that) looks a little like this:

Biblical Theology - Geerhardus Vos

Let the Nations Be Glad - John Piper

In the Shadow of the Almighty - Elizabeth Elliott

Total Abandon - Gary Witherall

Elijah - A.W. Pink

Summary of Christian Doctrine - Louis Berkhof

A Troubled Journey - Faith Cook

I Dared to Call Him Father - Bilquis Sheikh and Richard H. Schneider

That's what it looks like so far...no doubt it may get a little longer as I sneak a few other volumes into the suitcases. Just don't tell Carolyn!!!
