Looking Ahead to 2013

Looking ahead to 2013, there are a few things that I know I want to do.

I'm not usually one to make New Year's Resolutions, so let's not call it that. In 2013 I will graduate from college, and will (hopefully!) start a new job, a new chapter of life. I'm not sure of all that this new year will hold for me, which I think is terribly exciting. I have no idea where God will lead me, what doors He will open up for me, or where I will be this time next year. I trust that He does have a plan, and that everything will come together in His perfect time.

The things that I know I want to do is on a much smaller scale than big life decisions and career plans. I thought that I would start 2013 off by creating a list of books that I hope to read during the year. I've decided to try to actually post once and a while here, and I figure that posting about what I read will be the best way to get started. Hopefully you will be able to keep track of how well I do on accomplishing this list!

Here are a few books that I hope to read in 2013:

Heretics by G. K. Chesterton

Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton

A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael by Elisabeth Elliot

C. T. Studd: Cricketer & Pioneer by Norman Grubb

Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis

Surprised by Joy by C. S. Lewis

When God Writes Your Life Story by Eric and Leslie Ludy

Autobiography by George Muller

Revival Praying by Leonard Ravenhill

The Knowledge of the Holy by A. W. Tozer

The Cross and the Switchblade by David Wilkerson

Knowing the Names of God by David Wilkerson

We'll see how many of these I read during this next year! If you read (or have read) one of these books, let me know what you think of it!

  1. Knowledge of the Holy is one of the best books I've ever read on knowing the Lord as my Deliverer!
