This morning I received an email notice from ereaderiq that a book I was interested in was just released in kindle format.  (ereaderiq is a great service.  I use it to track book prices of the books I am interested in or have reviewed and to notify me when books are released in kindle format.)

But I have so many really good books that I am interested in reading that I have already bought, it is sometimes hard to convince myself to buy more.  So I was inspired to put together a list of books that I want to read, are really good prices, but I haven’t talked myself into reading yet.  If enough of you buy some of these books (or just click through and buy something else on Amazon) maybe I will earn enough Amazon affiliate income that I won’t feel as bad buying these

A Little Book for New Theologians: Why and How to Study Theology by Kelly Kapic – $5.12

126 pages, 3 of 3 reviews are 5-star

Whenever we read, think, hear or say anything about God, we are doing theology. Yet theology isn’t just a matter of what we think. It affects who we are.

In the tradition of Helmut Thielicke’s A Little Exercise for Young Theologians, Kelly Kapic offers a concise introduction to the study of theology for newcomers to the field. He highlights the value and importance of theological study and explains its unique nature as a serious discipline.

Not only concerned with content and method, Kapic explores the skills, attitudes and spiritual practices needed by those who take up the discipline. This brief, clear and lively primer draws out the relevance of theology for Christian life, worship, mission, witness and more.

“Theology is about life,” writes Kapic. “It is not a conversation our souls can afford to avoid.”

Sustained by a deep religious faith, Jason Harrow has built a stable family and become a pillar of principle and patriotism in the Midwest.

A woman with whom he once shared a life of violence and desire claims her daughter is missing — and Jason is the one man who can find her.

Returning to New York City, Jason finds himself entangled in a murderous conspiracy only he can see and only he can stop — a plot that bizarrely links his private passions to the turmoil of a world at war. Hunted by terrorists and by the police, Jason has mere hours to unravel an ex-lover’s lies and face the unbearable truth: in order to prevent a savage attack on his country, he’s going to have to risk his decency, his sanity, and his life.
