I have been reading the above books for the last couple of months and plan to continue reading them next month.
So it is a new day and I am slowly waking up to the fact there is no way of escape. This morning Carol leaves to have an early lunch with friends. I have no plans for the day ahead of me. Existence keeps speeding by.
I did not mention yet the books I have been reading for devotions in the mornings this month and plan to continue reading during the month of August 2017-
The Holy Bible
'Sons in the Son: The Riches and Reach of Adoption in Christ' by David B. Garner
'The Book Of Jeremiah' [The Bible in Medieval Tradition] Joy A. Schroeder translator and editor
'Covenant and Commandment: Works, obedience and faithfulness in the Christian life' by Bradley G. Green [New Studies In Biblical Theology]
'The Benedict Option: A Strategy For Christians In A Post-Christian Nation' by Rod Dreher
'The Deep Things Of God how the Trinity Changes Everything' by Fred Sanders
'I Corinthians' New Testament IXa [Reformation Commentary On Scripture] Edited By Scott M. Manetsch
'The Path Of Christianity: The First Thousand Years' by John Anthony McGuckin
As you can tell from my current reading list I have a lot on my mind as I drift through the last days of American Empire. It would be nice to have someone to discuss the above books with, but Christians do not read these days.
I suppose I will close to write in my paper diary and read my devotional books. It will soon be over.
