I’m an avid reader. In fact, I’m usually reading about 4 or 5 books at a time. The reason for this is that I like to have a book handy where ever I may be, so I have books placed strategically throughout the places I might be on any given day. For instance, I have a book in the bathroom, one or two by my bedside, one downstairs, one on my dresser that I put in my pants or coat pocket, and one in each of the cars. Of course this varies from time to time, depending on how “into” the book I am, but the point is that I like to always have a book handy. One of the problems with this, though, is that I tend to forget where I put books and I don’t finish them. I’ve recently found a couple of books throughout the house that I started, but forgot about. In order to keep track of the books I’m reading, and thereby (hopefully) completing them, I’ve decided to keep a journal of what I’m reading on my blog. Another added advantage of this is that I may peak your interest with one of my selections, or, even better, may be reading something that you have read and would like to discuss…. just make sure I’m done if it’s a work of fiction

Also, I usually read through a book of the Bible for our family worship. Right now we’re reading through Exodus. My morning devotions usually consist of me reading the passage that I’m going to read that night with one or two commentaries as a help.

John Calvin – Calvin’s Commentaries

H.L. Ellison – The Daily Study Bible Series

If anyone has any suggestions for a good Exodus commentary, feel free to comment!
