What I am reading in January 2024

A Praying Church: Becoming a People of Hope in a Discouraging World by Paul Miller

I finished this book up just after the New Year. I am reading this book along with several other Meadowview members. Our intention is to discuss the content and think through how we at Meadowview can focus more time and attention on prayer moving forward. Prayer must be priority.

Life in Christ: Studies in 1 John by Martyn Lloyd-Jones

At Meadowview we are currently studying 1 John. I have always appreciated Martyn Lloyd-Jones sermons and I have found this collection of sermons from 1 John to be very encouraging.

Christ Centered Exposition Exalting Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount by Daniel Akin

This year I am doing some focused study on the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). I am listening to some podcasts that are focusing attention on this section of Scripture and finding this short commentary to be quite helpful in my personal study.

Dune by Frank Herbert

I am ashamed to say that I have never read Dune. I started this book back in the Summer, then when the fall busyness flooded in I put it down. I recently picked it back up and I am hoping to finish it up by the end of this month. It is considered a classic for a reason

I have a couple of others that I intend to at least begin reading this month: Evangelical Pharisees; The Gospel as a Cure for the Churches Hypocrisy by Michael Reeves; A Short Guide to Spiritual Disciplines: How to Become a Healthy Christian By Mason King.
