I’m currently reading two books:
1. “The Ecclesiastical History of the English People” by the Venerable Bede.
2. “Forging the Shield: U.S. Army in Europe 1951-1962” by Dr. Donald A. Carte. This is the newest volume of the U.S. Army Center of Military History’s U.S. Army in the Cold War series. Its official release date is today. I managed to get an advance copy. It is available for purchase from the Government Printing Office or online at http://www.history.army.mil/bookshelves.html
And no, I am NOT its author.
I am reading “Albion’s Seed” by David Hackett Fischer. It the well-researched story of four British folkways in America, starting with the Pilgrims.
"Jesus on Every Page" by David Murray.
The son trudges uphill, bearing wood for his own sacrifice; his father has decided to give him up to death. What biblical event does this bring to mind? Is it Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22, or Christ’s passion in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? The kinship between these two stories is deeper than mere coincidence. Christ is present in the story of Abraham and Isaac. In fact, he is present on every page of the Old Testament. Christians seem to have forgotten that the Old Testament has everything to do with Jesus Christ. In Jesus on Every Page, David Murray guides the reader down his own Road to Emmaus, describing how the Scriptures were opened to him, revealing Jesus from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22. Dr. Murray’s ten simple ways to seek and find Christ in the Old Testament unveil the face of Christ in the creation, the law, the psalms, the prophets, and the proverbs. Recognizing Jesus in the full breadth of Scripture is important for every Christian. Whether you are preaching Jesus through Old Testament readings or just beginning to discover the reality of Christ in the Old Testament, Jesus on Every Page provides an accessible guide to the increasingly popular subject of Jesus in the Old Testament books. Have your own Road to Emmaus experience and know the Old Testament for what it truly is: full of Jesus.
