Books

After posting yesterday that I wanted ideas of books to read, I went online to look at the course syllabus of the class that I'm taking at Columbia International University. The class is called Global Missions and the Church. I'm way excited. The class is really devided up into three parts. Pre campus period, on-campus period, and post campus period. I'm doing most of my work while I'm in Maryland but I have to go down to South Carolina for one week in January. Anyways, I was looking at my syllabus and I have to read four books and write papers on them before January 23rd. The books are Camel Training Manual This is what I found for a description of the book : For centuries, Christians have feared, hated, or simply avoided Muslims. In his new book, Greeson shows us how we can love them as God loves them and bring them to saving faith in Jesus Christ. Greeson's Camel Training treats Muslims with respect and invites them to confront their own sacred writings as a bridge to the good news found in the Bible. It sounds really good. The next book is called Putting Together the Puzzle of the Old Testament. I can't find this book anywhere so if anyone knows where I can get it let me know. The next one is Loving the Church, Blessing the Nations and the last book is From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya its a A Biographical History of Christian Missions. Sounds really good but it is 528 pages long which is why I have to start now because I will never get them all done. Back to the point. I think these books will keep me really busy reading for a while. I'm really excited and I'm glad that I can start reading now. Thanks Stephanie for your book idea. I think I will read that over my Christmas break.
