"When I was a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me."

1 Corinthians 13:11 (NIV)

book lists...reading is good.
indeed.

the books are listed in relative order of value (the order is fuzzy at best). the first list is of books that have really taught and blessed me. the next list has books that were good but not awesome. read those only if you're interested in the specific topic they cover. the last list is of books which really aren't worth reading at all since there are so many good books to read. and yes, i've read every single one of the books on this list.
