The Gift of Thorns, by A. J. Swoboda

I heard about this book on James Bryan Smith's "Things Above podcast."

Things Above Apprentice Institute

Smith claimed he emptied a highlighter while reading the book. 

I emptied two. 

Something's changed inside me. Lots to reflect on, and a few reread to come. 

Rising to the Call, by Os Guinness

Choose Strong, by Sally McRae

Carrying these three over to 2024.

These three I'm carrying into 2024. So much in each of these. 

I've started Divine Conspiracy a few times the past 20 years and have never finished. I'm slowly going through it again, reading Willard's Theology as I go, along with a Willard Dictionary. 

As to "A Different Way," it's been a slow read the past 4 months. 

Hall, Willard, Richard Foster, Steve Macchia and James Bryan Smith are cut from the same cloth. 

The Good and Beautiful God, by James Bryan Smith

The Inner Game of Tennis, W. Timothy Gallwey

Gallwey emphasizes the mental and emotional aspects of performance, what he appropriately calls the “inner game.”

In the end, “The Inner Game of Tennis” offers a philosophy for self-improvement that extends beyond the tennis court. 

Rich Mullins (25th Anniversary Edition) An Arrow Pointing to Heaven

On The Incarnation, by St. Aryanasuius

Class: The Priority & Practice of Soul Care, led by Steve Macchia, LTI

Sobering and insightful. My awareness on this matter is much higher than before the class. I'm even aware of the growth I've had in recent years surrounding my soul. It's so good to realize I've done a better job of taking care of my sour, my heart that my self-talk had been telling me. 

Getting Naked, by Patrick Lencioni

This is my second time through this really good read. The first time 10-12 years ago. 

I'm praying and pondering the rest of my years and this book came to mind.

Death Can Only Make Me Better: Remembering Tim Keller (1950–2023) | Desiring God

" Courage, on the one hand, is not looking at yourself and banishing fear. No, it's just letting the fears play their role, and not letting the fears play too much of a role by looking away from yourself. "Okay," you say, "but then to what?" It's even in the text I just read. It was defiance, not hope. Hope." - Tim Keller
