Top Reads of 2011

-
I like to read. I read slow. I read with a certain eye. I also have four kids a full-time job and volunteer at church so I don't have much time.  One thing I hunt for is the best books to read.

So for my top ten were:

10. A Praying LIfe  By Paul Miller
9. When Not To Build by Ray Bowman
8. Heaven by Randy Alcorn
7. 1776 by David McCullough
6. Catriona by Robert Louis Stevenson

5. Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson

4. Lit by Tony Reinke

3.The River of Doubt by Candice Millard


2. Crazy Love by Francis Chan



1. Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand

As you can see I have a narrow taste, Classics, Non-fiction history/biography, and religious.

What are your top reads of the year?

Did you ever watch Scooby-Doo? I did. I still remember the rerun of the 1972 episode with Jonathan Winters (1925-2013). Did you see that one?

Maude’s late husband had invented radioactive chicken feed that would increase the size of chickens to giant proportions. Maude hoped that they could improve their production of fried chicken to take over the market. Unfortunately, Mr. Frickert hid the secret recipe before he died and didn’t tell his wife where it was.

MANUSCRIPT WelcomeWelcome! I am pastor Rob, and it is a privilege to speak to you today.  Christmas I want to tell you something embarrassing. Don’t tell anyone. At times I was a brat growing up, and I am not proud of it. The primary reason I say that is because of one event about 25 years ago. I was in Junior High and reacted horribly to a gift. You know when you are hoping that you are going to get something, and it is like your aunt knit a giant pink onesie bunny pajama suit, like the one in Christmas Story? Have you ever had that experience? Maybe you had expectations for something, and it didn’t meet those expectations? I had. That picture was not me by the way. I don’t wear glasses. My gift was way better than a bunny costume, mind you. Here is an audio clip of what I got. You tell me what it was. (PLAY MP3) That is right. My brothers and I got the super, cool, hi-tech, 8-Bit Nintendo System with Super Mario Brothers, as a game. Who wouldn’t want that? That was great. However, I…
