What Does Your Christian Non-Fiction Library Look Like?

[StoneThrower]

Thanks There's a book sale that happens every couple of months or so here where they sell donated books for $0.50/lb. It's so great! So especially with them being that cheap, I try to pick up books not just books by authors I like, but books that might be outside of my own theological beliefs just to know what's out there and to get a different perspective on things. I don't read nearly as much as I should, though.

Wheres here, for that price it might be worth the trip?
We have a once a year friends of the library sale but it cost $15.00 bucks to get in the first day and the last few years its been poor when it comes to books I would buy, a lot of christian junk though. Up in York Pa the hospital has one every year its 5 bucks to get in but this year it wasnt all that I am almost to the point of having to buy online and paying the Ebay prices.

This is a Friends of the Library sale here too Yeah, you never know if there are going to be some good finds or if they're all going to be duds, but it seems like I can usually find something good. The last time I went, I found Packer's Knowing God. I didn't own that one, so that was a gem of a find.

Regarding the Bibles I have in my Library, the one I treasure most is my William Tyndale New Testament. It is a facsimile copy of one of only two remaining original copies from 1526 left in the world.

I took two photos below - the cover, as well as a photo of the beginning of the Gospel of John, so you can see how very different the English language was 500 years ago (but if read with patience, it is still actually readable and can be used as a daily study Bible.

Mine is about the same.

In my personal library, I also have a shelf that consists purely of books from Rob Bell, Joel Olsteen, Benny Hinn, and Kenneth Copeland.

I call that shelf the "What Would Jesus Not Teach?" section!!!

 

[Nick01]

I have a couple of shelves worth of stuff.






Plus, I have the two volume Craig Keener set 'Miracles', the truly excellent 'Jesus and the Eyewitnesses' by Richard Bauckham, RT Kendall's three book 'Understanding Theology', and Calvin's Institutes. I have other bits and pieces floating around as well, which I haven't bothered to go find

Before anyone points it out, I'm not entirely sure why I have Dragonlance in that part of the shelf. I have a feeling someone else found it lying around, and just put it in the first available spot in my shelf

Dragonlance... lol. There's a guy at work who takes his Dragonlance book every day for lunch break. He won't read anything else - ONLY reads Dragonlance books, and when he gets done with the series he starts over again. Fortunately for him it takes him a good two months of work break times to get through one book.

I bought it mostly because I'd heard other people talk about it. It's good, in that "poster boy for mostly generic D&D derivative fiction" kind of way

Yeah, I looked through random parts of his books at random break times and got the same impression. Or rather, for me it was more like "Gee, this is the plot of just about every RPG video game I've ever played."
