Well, I leave tomorrow morning for Kansas. Steve had me read a book about vocation before I left. It's called God at Work by Gene Edward Veith, Jr. It's a really easy read, only 150 pages, so I didn't invest much time in it. I thought it was pretty helpful in getting myself to think about the Biblical view of vocation, and especially that ministerial work is not more meritorious than any other type of work.

Also, I finished R.C. Sproul's The Holiness of God a couple of weeks ago. It was nothing that I hadn't heard before, but it was good as a devotional tool - it forced me to think about things that I normally wouldn't have thought about.

Finally, I finished up C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters, which we had been discussing once a month in a college group. Since I won't be here for the next many many college groups, I finished up the rest of it about a week ago. The book is extremely thought-provoking, and Lewis's excellent writing style and profundity shines through on every page.
